Important safety instructions

Warning: Carefully read this user guide before using the paper shredder.

Warnings

• Keep your fingers away from the feed slot, or they could be

seriously injured.

• Never run the shredder continuously for more than 3 minutes or

for more than 50 sheets, or the motor may overheat and
temporarily turn off the power (to allow the shredder to cool
down). If this happens, move the switch to the off position for 30

minutes (at 86

°F or

C) before trying again.

• Keep the shredder out of reach of children and pets.
• Keep jewelry, long hair, and loose clothing (especially sleeves and

neckties) away from the feed slot. If anything unintentionally gets
caught in the feed slot, immediately cut off power.

• Crosscut shredders have very sharp, exposed blades on the

underside, so be careful when mounting the shredder on the
waste basket.

• Fire danger: Never dispose of flammable chemicals (for example,

nail polish, acetone, or gasoline) or materials that have come into
contact with flammable chemicals (such as cleaning rags) in the
waste basket.

• Always turn off the shredder and unplug the power cord before

cleaning or moving the shredder, or emptying the waste basket.

• Never place the shredder near water, moisture, or any heat source.
• Keep the waste basket emptied so that the shredder output is not

blocked.

• Never use any petroleum-based or flammable oils or lubricants in

or around the shredder, because these substances can combust,
causing serious injury. Never spray any aerosol-based products in
or around the shredder.

• Never shred envelopes, labels, or anything with glue or sticky

substances, or paper jams can result.

• Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
• Do not try to service this product yourself. Doing so may expose

you to sharp cutting blades and electrical shock, and will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.

• Never let the waste basket become full, or the shredder output

will be blocked, and material will be pulled back up into the
shredder, causing jams.

• Never shred wet paper.
• Never try to clean or clear the shredder blades.
• Use the REV mode sparingly, because overuse may cause shreds of

paper to build up in the feed slot and reduce shredding
performance.

Using the shredder

Shredding paper

card into the center of the card feed slot. The shredder will
automatically shred the item.
