OPERATION
This product features an auto-start sensor. This sensor will turn
on the cutting blades whenever anything is inserted into the
paper entry (while the power switch is in the AUTO p o s i t i o n ) .
For the safety of pets and children, we recommend always
moving the power switch to OFF and unplugging
whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.
1. Assemble shredder (see ASSEMBLY).
2. Remove any paper clips or other foreign objects (except
staples) from paper. If folding paper to fit paper entry,
adjust sheet capacity appropriately.
Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other hard materials
(except staples) with this machine. Extensive use of paper clips
or other hard materials will result in damage to the cutting
system and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
3. Be sure power switch is in OFF position. Plug shredder
into proper power supply outlet.
4. Move power switch to AUTO position. When the unit is
turned on and in standby mode, the shredder is ready to
be fed paper through the paper entry.
NEVER insert hands or fingers into paper entry as
serious personal injury may result.
Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity. See P r o d u c t
Usage Guide (page 2).
5. Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder
automatically begins shredding. (if paper is wider than
paper entry, fold paper in half before shredding)
The shredder automatically stops a few seconds after
shredding is complete.
If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum
shredding time, see Clearing a Jam for more information.
6. Move power switch to off position when shredding is
complete.
7. Unplug power cord from outlet whenever shredder is
unattended or not in use.
8. Check basket to see if it is full. If full, remove shredder
head and empty basket contents. Replace shredder head
onto basket.
