Safety Devices and Other Features
Formax 8000 Series Shredders are equipped with various safety features:
Automatic Reverse Rotation
When too much paper is inserted, the cutter stops operating and
automatically rotates in reverse to discharge the jammed paper. An alarm
sounds. Reduce the amount of paper and restart the operation.
Door Switch
If the door is open, the shredder will not operate.
Automatic Stop
When the shredded paper fills the wastebasket, the “FULL” light comes on
and the cutter stops operation. Open the door, remove the wastebasket and
empty paper scraps. Replace the wastebasket, close the door and continue
operation.
Automatic Power Shut-Off
• If the shredder operates continuously for more than 30 minutes, the power
is automatically shut off.
• If the motor is overloaded, the “STOP” LED will flash until it cools down.
When the flashing stops the shredder is ready to be used again.
Maintenance
• Disconnect power by pulling power cord plug from wall outlet.
• To clean the exterior, wipe the surface with a soft cloth. If the surface is very dirty, use a
neutral detergent, then wipe again with a soft cloth.
CAUTION:
• Never put water directly on the surface of the shredder.
• Never clean the case with benzene or thinner, since it will cause discoloration.
• Do not dismantle the shredder. Contact your Formax Dealer for service.
