Installation
Position the shredder onto the basket. Once the unit is correctly positioned on the basket, plug it
into a standard AC outlet.
Materials you can shred
Your shredder will handle most any type of office paper documents. You can safely shred
documents containing staples, however, other metal items may damage the shredder.
On / Auto
Simply insert paper into the center of the throat. Once your document has activated the trigger
switch the unit will turn on and off automatically.
Forward and reverse
Moving the switch to either of these positions will cause the unit to run in the corresponding
direction.
Clearing Jams
If a paper jam occurs, switch the unit to the reverse position until the paper is out of the throat. If
a jam occurs with paper more than halfway through the cutters momentarily switch into the
REVERSE position until about 1 / 2” to 1” shredded paper reverses out. Tear off two or three
sheets and switch into the FORWARD position to clear the paper jam. In some cases, it may be
necessary to alternate between FORWARD and REVERSE positions several times to help clear
excess paper from the cutting area.
Thermal cut-off feature
This shredder is designed for low volume shredding, and is not intended for continuous operation. This
unit features a thermal cut-off device that automatically shuts off the shredder if run for an extended period
of time. If this occurs, simply allow the shredder to cool for 25 minutes before resuming operation.
