Cautions:
1. All shredders have very sharp, exposed blades on the underside. Please use
care when mounting the shredder on to the wastebasket.
2. Make sure power cord is not damaged in any way and that the outlet is
properly functioning.
3. It is normal for residual lubricant in the motor to burn off during the first
several extended uses of your shredder. Should you notice a slight burning
odor or the presence of small wisps of smoke during the first several
extended uses, you may continue using the shredder. If either symptom
continues to occur after repeated use, please contact technical support for
assistance.
Operation
Please read operating instructions before using shredder. Check machine for
damage or defect; remnants of paper particles found in the waste bin are normal
due to product testing.
Clearing a Jam
If paper is not inserted properly into the shredder, or if the sheet capacity is
exceeded, a jam may result. Move the switch to the REVERSE (<<) position,
and remove the excess paper from the top and pull it out. TO PREVENT ANY
INJURIES, DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS NEAR THE FEED OPENING. Once
the paper is cleared, normal shredding operation can resume. If the shredder
jams while in reverse, press the switch to the AUTO position and let shredder
run to clear the jammed paper. If jam does not clear, slide the switch back and
forth between the REV and AUTO until the jam is cleared. If the jam cannot
be cleared following this procedure, unplug the unit and carefully remove the
jammed paper manually.
Overheating
If your shredder overheats, the unit will automatically shut off and all functions
will cease in order to protect the motor. Turn off and unplug the shredder from
the outlet. Allow enough time for the motor to cool down. The shredder will not
resume normal function until the temperature of the motor cools down to a safe
temperature. Once cool, plug the shredder back into the outlet, turn the unit
back on and resume normal operation. Make sure to empty waste basket to
avoid overloading the basket and damaging the cutting mechanism.
