sette to the machine at once!
If more than one disk or cassette is in-
advertently fed to the machine, refer to 
”MATERIAL JAM IN MACHINE” under 
”MALFUNCTION”.
EMPTYING THE RECEPTACLES (Fig. 3):
The shredded material is being catched 
separatly
in the two receptacles standing side by side. If one 
of the two receptacles is full, the machine switches 
off automatically. The pilot lamp (4) (fig. 1) lights 
up. Empty the receptacle as follows:
- Open the door and pull out the receptacle (s) 
a little. Take off the full plastic bag and dispose 
of the contents.
- Insert the empty bag, move the receptacle (s)
back and close the door.
Note: The machine only runs with closed door!
SCOPE OF APPLICATION:
The 
intimus MutliMedia data shredder can be
used to shred all types of data media including 
CDs, DVDs, 100 and 250 MB ZIP disks, 4 mm 
DAT cassettes and 3_” floppy disks.
The machine may only be used to shred 
CDs, DVDs, ZIP disks, 4 mm DAT cas-
settes and 3_” floppy disks!
Shredding any other kind of data medium
could damage the machine (e.g. destroy
the cutting mechanism).
INSTALLATION:
- Unpack and set machine upright.
- Put a plastic bag in each receptacle.
- Plug in the machine (for instructions for the 
necessary precautions see „TECHNICAL 
DATA“.
The air vents in the housing are ne-
cessary for cooling and may not be 
covered or closed!
The mains connection at the machine 
must be freely accessible!
Only operate the machine in enclosed 
rooms at temperatures between 10°C 
and 25°C!
CONTROLS:
1 = Pushbutton switch „forward“ (fig. 1)
 Depress this switch to start the machine or 
to stop the machine.
2 = Pushbutton switch „reverse“ (fig. 1)
 Pressing this button activates the cutting 
mechanism into reverse.
3 = Pilot lamp „forward operation“ (fig. 1)
 Lights when the pushbutton switch (1) is 
operated. The cutting system runs forward.
4 = Pilot lamp
 „door open“ / „receptacle full“ (fig. 1)
 Lights up when
 
a) the door is not closed. The machine then
switches off automatically and it cannot be 
started as long as the door is open.
b) one of the receptacles is full and needs to
be emptied. At the same time the machine 
switches off automatically.
5 = Pilot lamp “material jam“ (fig. 1) 
 lights if too much material is fed into the cutting 
mechanism. The cutting mechanism halts, 
then runs one step in reverse and stops. The 
motor switches off.
FEEDING DATA MEDIA TO THE SHREDDER:
The machine is not suitable for shred-
ding paper or cardboard (formation of 
clumps).
The procedure is as follows:
- Turn machine on with pushbutton switch (1) 
(fig. 1). The cutting system runs forward. Pilot 
lamp lights up (3) (fig. 1).
- Feed the respective data media individually as
indicated below through the corresponding inlet 
slot to the cutting system:
Left slot
– 3_” floppy disks / ZIP disks
 Middle slot – 4 mm DAT cassettes
 Right slot – CDs and DVDs
- After shredding turn machine off with pushbutton 
switch (1) (fig. 1).
<< The machine may not be operated by more

The machine was designed for safe operation 
by “one person only”.
<< During the shredding process no other
work may be performed on the machine 
(for example cleaning, etc.)!
<< The machine is not a toy, and is not suitable
for use by children!
The overall technical safety concept of this ma-
chine (dimensions, feed openings, emergency
