TURNING ON YOUR SHREDDER
① ON, OFF and REVERSE are controlled by the black
Rocker Switch (3) on the top of the shredder.
② Moving the switch to the “I” (ON) position
places the shredder in the standby mode.
Note: Shredder will run momentarily.
③ Moving the switch to the center or “O” (OFF)
position turns the shredder off.
④ The REVERSE position “R” will be discussed
in “CLEARING A PAPER JAM”.
SHREDDING
Turn shredder on. Insert paper squarely into
Feed Opening (1). A light barrier (2) will auto-
matically activate the shredding mechanism.
Continue feeding paper into the Feed Opening
until the shredding mechanism begins to
draw the paper in. At this point, allow the paper
to feed into the shredder on its own. Once the
paper has passed completely through the shredding mechanism, the electronic
controls will automatically stop the machine.
Microfiche and transparencies can also be shredded in the same manner as
paper, however, you should shred a piece of paper after every 8 or 10 sheets of
plastic. This helps clean plastic particles out of the shredding mechanism.
CAPACITY
Capacity is the number of sheets of 8½” x 11” paper that can be shredded at
one time. These figures are approximate and machines may vary slightly due to
various conditions. It is not recommended that you try to run your shredder at
maximum capacity, as this increases the chance of a paper jam.

CLEARING A PAPER JAM
If too many sheets of paper are fed into your shredder at one time, it may cause
a paper jam. Running your shredder at maximum capacity increases the
chance of a paper jam. If a paper jam occurs, it is easy to clear by following
these simple steps:
①Turn shredder off using ON/OFF/REVERSE switch (3)
② Firmly pull on paper sticking out of Feed Opening while holding
ON/OFF/REVERSE switch in the REVERSE (R) position.
③ After paper has been removed from the Feed Opening, move
the ON/OFF/REVERSE switch back to the ON (I) position.
④ Separate some of the sheets and continue shredding.
ALWAYS TURN SHREDDER OFF IF IT WILL BE UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED RUNNING SHREDDERS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY abcoffice
