Getting started
1. Place the shredder unit onto the waste bin. There is a safety interlock switch under the edge
of the shredder unit which is pressed in when the shredder is placed correctly onto
the waste bin. The switch must be pressed in for the shredder to operate.
2. Place the waste bin on a firm, level surface.
3. Plug the shredder into a wall socket which supplies power at the same voltage as that marked
on the rating plate of the product.

• Do not feed paper, CDs, DVDs or credit cards into the shredder at the same time.
Feed different kinds of materials into the shredder separately.
• If you want to shred small sheets of paper, you should feed them into the centre of the feed
opening. Otherwise, the shredder will not start automatically.
• Let the shredder cool down after it has been used continuously for 3 min (3 min is the maximum
length of time that the shredder should be used continuously).
• Empty the waste bin regularly. If the bin is full it is difficult or impossible to continue feeding
the shredder.

• If the maximum paper capacity is exceeded by feeding more than 10 sheets of paper into
the shredder at the same time, or if it is not fed in straight.
