electricity board.
9. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do
not place this product where people may walk on the
cord.
10. If an extension cord is used with this product, make
sure that the total of the ampere ratings on the
products plugged into the extension cord do not
exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Also, make
sure that the total of all products plugged into the
wall outlet does not exceed 15 amps.
11. Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as

Caution
1. This shredder utilizes a safety interlock switch which
lights the red indicator light and stops power to the
motor when the door is opened. Do not attempt to
override this safety feature.
2. The electronic circuitry in this shredder performs
several functions:
• Senses the presence of paper in the shredder inlet
and automatically starts shredding and then stops
the shredder approximately 3 seconds after the
paper has passed through.
• Controls the safety functions of the shredder.
• Operates the indicator lights.
• (In 320 and 380 series only) Monitors the
amount of electrical current being used and stops
the motor if too much paper has been put into the
shredder or a jam has ocurred.
3. The automatic start function of this shredder uses an
infrared sensor in the inlet to detect the presence of
paper. If a strong light or sunlight is allowed to shine
directly into the inlet, the sensor may give a false
indication and start the shredder. If this occurs, it
does not present a safety hazard. The cover over the
inlet will ordinarily prevent this false indication from
occurring. If the shredder is in a position where
sunlight or a strong lamp shines on the front of the
shredder from such a low position that the light
reaches down into the inlet:
• Move the shredder or the light to a different
position, OR
• Turn the rocker switch to the off position when not
in use.
CAUTION: Do not insert aerosol cleaners or
lubricants into or around the machine. Some
agents may combust, causing serious injury.
