Shredder capacity:
The S170 shreds up to 8 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 75g).
The paper width may comprise up to
22 cm. When shredding small paper sizes such as letters or credit card receipts, please insert
them into the middle of the shredding slot.
Please ensure that never more than the above-mentioned maximum quantity is inserted in the
shredder. Otherwise the device may sustain damage.
Separate shredder for CD’s and credit cards:
This document shredder is equipped with a separate shredder for CDs/DVDs and credit cards.
CDs/DVDs are shredded into 4 pieces. Given that such materials always present the risk of
splinters, please keep your face at an acceptable distance when inserting CDs/DVDs. The
shredded material is then collected in a separate tray thereby facilitating its environmentally-
friendly disposal.
Paper Jams and overload protection:
The S170 is equipped with a motor overload guard. The normal work cycle for the shredding
operation takes 2 minutes with a maximum load, after which a prolonged break must be taken.
Under the following conditions, the
current feed to the unit’s motor is interrupted:
1. Continual operation of the document shredder with maximum capacity for a prolonged
period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
2. Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding mo
re than 8 sheets of paper (75
g) in one
operation or in the event the paper is not inserted length-wise into the feed slot.
Under the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic overload guard of the motor is triggered,
whereupon the current feed to the device is interrupted. In such a case, please take the
following steps:
1. Disconnect the mains plug from the AC socket and wait at least 60 minutes until the
overload guard has reset. Now tear off excess paper from the top of the shredder or
remove it.
2. Reconnect the mains plug to the AC socket and set the switch to the REV position. Pull
the remaining paper away from the shredding blades. Afterwards,
set the switch back to
the AUTO position. If necessary, repeat this step.
3. With the switch in the AUTO position and the open feed slot, you may now continue the
normal shredding process.
