Preparation before use

How to use the shredder correctly:

t

 Take care not to insert fingers, ties or other objects into the 
entry slot of the shredder.

t

 Try to avoid paper clips, staples, laminating materials, plastic 
bags etc. from being passed through the shredder. This will 
prevent damage to the cutters.

t

 Do not shred wet paper as it can tangle in the cutters.

t

 Do not shred more than 5 pieces of paper in one pass.

t

 Do not shred more than 200 sheets of paper at a time. 
Running the unit for too long may make the motor overheat. 
If the motor over heats, allow it to cool down for at least 30 
minutes before resuming use.

t

 Do not use the “REV” (reverse) function if it’s not necessary. 
Over use of the “REV” function can result in shredded paper 
becoming jammed in the entry slot, which will adversely 
affect the performance of the shredder.

t

 Unplug the product before moving or emptying the shredder 
basket.

Safety First

t

 Please store this instruction manual in a safe place for future 
reference.

t

 Please pay close attention to the safety symbols on the top of 
the shredder and operate the machine accordingly.

t

 If the shredder needs cleaning, unplug the unit from the 
power socket and use a damp cloth. NB. Do not use any 
cleaning products to clean the unit.

t

 Do not position the unit near to an object that radiates heat.

t

 Do not place the unit in a damp environment.

t

 Take care not to splash any liquid onto the machine.

t

 Return the product and proof of purchase with receipt to the 
store at which it was purchased if…

 

- The power cable or plug is broken.

 

- The machine malfunctions because liquid was accidentally 
spilt onto the machine. 
- The shredder doesn’t operate despite following the 
guidelines in the manual.

t

 Make sure the power cable isn’t a trip hazard.

t

 Please ensure the power supply is compatible with the 
requirements of the machine (220-240V 50Hz).

t

 To avoid risk of injury, don’t open the machine’s casing to 
attempt DIY repair. Any attempted repair by an unqualified 
person will invalidate the warranty.
