
Ensure the area is clean.

Check input conveyor for debris, discarded tools, etc.
Start-up
Plug power cable into installed receptacle. Turn key switch on. Depress
momentarily the Forward pushbutton. Cutters will begin to rotate and the output
conveyor will begin to run forward.
For machines equipped with optional automatic cutter lube system, depress Lube
pushbutton momentarily and allow machine to run for approximately four minutes
without feeding material to be shredded. This allows time for cutter lubrication to
be accomplished without soaking the material to be shredded unnecessarily.
To stop machine at any time depress the red Stop pushbutton. For emergency
situations the Stop pushbutton may be depressed at any time. For normal stop
situations, wait for input chute to empty itself and the output conveyor to discharge
all shredded material before depressing Stop button.
Begin feeding material to be shredded. It is recommended that during the
familiarizing period the operator should proceed with small amounts of media.
After several hours experience the operator may wish to increase the amount of
material being fed. The operator will soon be able to judge the efficiency of the
operation and feed material accordingly. It is nearly inevitable that during this
learning process the machine will jam. A jam condition will automatically turn off
the machine just as if the operator had depressed the Stop button. This is normal.
