Operation
1. Flip the power switch “ON” located on the right side of the shredder.

Auto Start/Auto Stop
When the START button is pushed, the signal lamp “AUTO” will light.
Insert paper to shred. The shredder will start and stop automatically
when using this function.
3.
Manual Operation
If paper is too small for the shredder’s sensors to detect, shred it
manually. Push the START button once more and the “MANUAL” lamp
will light. Insert paper to be shredded. Three minutes after shredding,
the cutter automatically stops rotating.
4.
Reverse Operation
Push the REV button and the signal lamp “REV” will light and cutters
will operate in reverse. If too much paper is inserted at one time in
standard modes, the shredder will automatically operate in reverse.
If this occurs, remove the inserted paper and shred in smaller
amounts. NOTE: The maximum amount of paper to be shredded
differs according to paper quality, humidity and voltage. If the shredder is to be used
continuously, do not insert more than half of the maximum capacity.
5.
Full Sensor
If the wastebasket is full, the “FULL” lamp will light and the cutter will stop automatically.
Open the door, empty the wastebasket of paper strips/chips, replace the wastebasket,
close door, and continue to shred.

2. Insert plug into wall outlet with the appropriate voltage, 110V. If the outlet is shared
with another electronic device, the total current should not exceed 30A (at 110V).
