Thank you
for buying a Black & Decker paper shredder.
Black & Decker paper shredders
have become the benchmark for innovation, performance and quality to protect against
identity theft. We have taken great care in designing and engineering a product to meet
and exceed your needs.
To ensure years of safe, efficient performance, please read
these important product usage and safety instructions.
WARNING ICONS:
The icons on top of the shredder warn the user of the potential
dangers if the shredder is used improperly.
TO USE ON DESK OR FLOOR SURFACE:
1. Place bracket (face up) on flat surface.
2. The shredder should be positioned over the raised section of the mounting bracket. This
will fit inside the slot on the bottom of the shredder. (fig. 4)
3. Attach the shredder to the mounting bracket using the two thumb screws that were
provided with the unit. These thumb screws must be securely in place when the shredder
is in the standing mode. (fig. 5)
A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible. Connect the power
cord to any standard 120 volt AC outlet. The B&D Paper Shredder & Messaging Center uses a
break-away power cord for added safety.
Operation
HOW TO USE YOUR SHREDDER
1. Place the bin (3) inside the shredder and close the front door.
2. Rotate the safety shield (1) to the open position.
3. To empty bin, open the front door and remove the waste bin. Shreds should be emptied
into separate container. Always replace the waste bin before closing the front door.
To begin shredding, locate the power switch (5) on the unit and select the “Auto” mode.
The green LED light indicates the shredder is “On” and ready to use. Slide the safety
shield (1) up until it clicks into place and exposes the paper feed slot.
This shredder has a 4 position power switch:
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 after you have
emptied the bin.
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.
AUTO
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.
FORWARD
This setting allows the shredder to run continuously.

Setup
The Black & Decker® Paper Shredder & Messaging Center can be wall mounted or set up on
a desk or floor surface.
TO WALL MOUNT:
Your shredder must be securely attached to studs in your wall. It is recommended to hang
your shredder at a maximum height of 5-feet (152 cm).
1.
Before hanging the shredder, you must remove the screw knobs (8) from the mounting
bracket; these are only used in the floor standing mode. You must also move the sliding
locks (10) to the open position; these will be closed later.
2. Locate the wall studs using a stud finder.
3.
Attach the mounting bracket to the wall using the six enclosed mounting screws. (fig. 2)
4. Hang the shredder to the mounting bracket using the hooks on the front of the bracket.
Check to be sure that both hooks are securely in place.
5. Close the sliding locks on the sides of the mounting bracket; this will lock your shredder
in place. You must open both locks before you take your shredder off the wall. (fig. 3)
