Heavier paper, humidity or other than rate voltage may reduce capacity.
Mount the shredder securely to the rim of the waste basket. (FIGURE 1)
A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Connect the power cord to any standard 120 volt AC outlet.
ATTENTION:
This model includes a built-in safety interlock mechanism, which requires the shredder to be correctly
mounted on to the included wastebasket. Located on the back center of the shredder, next to the
power cord, there is a curved flap-like shape that must
FIT OVER THE OUTSIDE
matching ridge of
the wastebasket. (FIGURE #1)
THE SHREDDER WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS IT IS PROPERLY
MOUNTED AS PICTURED!
It is not designed to operate with any other wastebaskets. An activation switch located on the head unit
automatically shuts off the shredder when it is lifted or removed. The supplied wastebasket activates this
switch, which allows the shredder to be operable. Lining the wastebasket with a plastic bag will interfere
and may keep the shredder from functioning.
Caution:
Crosscut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the underside.
Use care when mounting the shredder on the wastebasket.
OPERATION
AUTO / ON:
This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting paper into the
shred opening. Always feed the paper in as straight as possible. When the paper has
passed through, the shredder will automatically stop. (FIGURE 2)
OFF:
This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend that
you leave the shredder in the "Off" position whenever the shredder is unattended or not
in use. (FIGURE 2)
REV (REVERSE):
In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear the cutters
of paper that has not passed through. Never attempt to clear a jam by using the reverse
function until you have emptied the wastebasket. (FIGURE 2)
READY:
The green LED light indicates the shredder in “On” and ready for use.

ShredSafe™
technology is an added safety feature incorporated in this particular model. It is a new
technology where the shredder is able to detect forced entry and automatically cuts the power off, pre-
venting further shredding.
To begin shredding, locate the switch on the unit and select the “Auto” mode (FIGURE 2). The Green
LED light indicates the shredder is “On” and ready to use. Press the designated “push open” area on
the handle of the cover to tilt open and expose the paper feed slot (FIGURE 3).
The cover will click
into a preset position for safe shredding.*
With the feed slot now open, you can shred sheets
of paper or 1 credit card per pass (FIGURE 3).
When shredding is completed, you can press the designated “push close” area on the cover to tilt shut
the paper feed slot (FIGURE 4). It is recommended to have the paper feed slot closed when shredder is
not in use. This will prevent any objects from getting into the feed slot and accidentally shredded.
*Be sure to not tilt open the cover completely beyond the preset position, otherwise
the ShredSafe™ power cut off feature will be activated and the shredder will be
inoperable.
