2.
REV
position:
Rectifying a paper jam. In this case, the direction of the shredding operation is
reversed before the work cycle ends in order to free the shredding blades. Should
you determine that too much paper has been inserted and the shredding operation
slows noticeably, immediately set the switch to this position, also in the event paper
is accidentally inserted.
3.
OFF
position:
In order to empty the waste basket or in the event the device is not used for a
prolonged period of time, set the switch to
OFF
and
disconnect the device from
the electrical line in order to avoid the risk of injuries
.
Capacity of the document shredder:
The Strip-Cut Shredder S5 shreds up to 5 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 80g). The paper
width may comprise up to 218 mm. 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.
Protection against paper jams and overloading:
The Strip-Cut Shredder S5 is equipped with a motor overload guard. To protect the
machine well, we suggest the user to operate it in this way: work 2 minutes then 60
minutes. Under the following conditions, the current feed to the unit’s motor is
interrupted:
1. Continual operation of the 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 more than 5 sheets of paper (80g)
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 main plug from the AC socket in order to avoid the risk of
serious injuries
and wait at least 15 minutes until the overload guard has reset.
Now tear off excess paper from the top of the shredder or remove it.
2. Reconnect the main 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.
