Set-up Guidelines

1. Install the shredder on a level surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
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).

Operation

1. Flip the power switch “ON” located on the right side of the shredder. 
2. 

Auto Start/Auto Stop

When the START button is pushed, the “AUTO” LED 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” LED 

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 “REV” LED 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” LED will light and the cutter will stop 

automatically. Open the door, remove and empty the waste bin. Replace the waste 

bin, close door, and press START to resume shredding.

Safety Precautions

observe the following safety precautions. Please keep these 

instructions for future reference.

NOTE:

 In case of emergency, flip the “Power Switch” 

to cut off power and/or pull the plug out of the wall outlet.

ECO Mode

When the power switch on the right side of the shredder (see below) is initially turned on, 

the shredder is automatically in ECO Mode. This energy-saving feature puts the shredder 

into standby after 5 minutes of inactivity. 

When the shredder is in standby, the ECO Mode LED on the control 

panel will be lit.

To exit ECO Mode: Turn the power switch to the off position, then while pressing the stop 

button turn the shredder back on, hold the stop button down until the shredder beeps 

once and release.  The Eco Mode indicator LED will go out indicating that the shredder 

is no longer in Eco Mode.  To re-engage Eco Mode simply turn the shredder off and back 

on again.
