Operation
1. Flip the power switch “ON” located on the right side of the shredder.
2.
Auto Start/Auto Stop
When the START button is pushed, the “AUTO” LED will light. Insert
paper to shred. The shredder will start and stop automatically when
using this function.
3.
Manual Operation
If paper is too small for the shredder’s sensors to detect, shred it
manually. Push the START button once more and the “MANUAL” LED
will light. Insert paper to be shredded. Three minutes after shredding,
the cutter automatically stops rotating.
4.
Reverse Operation
Push the REV button and the “REV” LED will light and cutters will
operate in reverse. If too much paper is inserted at one time in
standard modes, the shredder will automatically operate in reverse. If
this occurs, remove the inserted paper and shred in smaller amounts.
NOTE: The maximum amount of paper to be shredded differs
according to paper quality, humidity and voltage. If the shredder is to
be used continuously, do not insert more than half of the maximum capacity.
5.
Full Sensor
If the waste bin is full, the “FULL” LED will light and the cutter will stop
automatically. Open the door, remove and empty the waste bin. Replace the waste
bin, close door, and press START to resume shredding.
Set-up Guidelines
1. Install the shredder on a level surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
2. Insert plug into wall outlet with the appropriate voltage, 110V. If the outlet is shared
with another electronic device, the total current should not exceed 30A (at 110V).
