For convenience and energy savings, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-
start sensor (K). This means that when the control switch (E) is in the automatic [I]
position, the shredder will start running when you put paper into it and stop a few sec-
onds after the paper has passed through.
CAUTION: The automatic-start sensor cannot tell the difference
between paper and other objects. This feature can also be a hazard.
Always turn off the shredder when it is not in use. Unplug the shred-
der if it will not be used for an extended period.

• Press control switch (E) to automatic [I] position. Green ready light (F) should turn on.
• Feed paper straight into entry (C), releasing when shredder begins shredding; see
