Thermal Cut-off Feature
This shredder is not intended for continuous operation. This unit features a thermal
cut-off device that automatically shuts off the shredder if run for an extended period
of time. If this occurs, simply allow the shredder to cool.
Safety Lock Feature
This shredder is equipped with a safety lock feature. Should you want to disable the
shredder (safety lock on), turn the knob a quarter of a turn anti-clockwise (until the
circles are aligned)
(fig. D)

the two circles, push the dial in and turn clockwise until you reach the unlocked
icon. The ready lamp will now illuminate

Clearing Jams
If a paper jam occurs, switch the unit to the reverse position until the paper is out
of the throat. If a jam occurs with paper more than halfway through the cutters
momentarily switch into the REVERSE position until about 1/2" to 1" of shredded
paper reverses out. Tear off two or three sheets and switch into the FORWARD
position to clear the paper jam. In some cases, it may be necessary to alternate
between FORWARD and REVERSE positions several times to help clear excess
paper from the cutting area.
Forward and Reverse
Moving the switch to either of these positions will cause the unit to run in the
corresponding direction.
Auto
Simply insert paper into the centre of the throat. Once your document has activated
the trigger switch, the unit will turn on automatically.
