Operation
1. Remove the shredder from the packaging and place the bin
inside the shredder housing.
2. Plug the power cord into the rear of the shredder.
3. Connect the shredder to an appropriate power supply.
4. Ensure the on/off switch in the back of the machine is in the
‘on’ position. The blue shredder in operation icon
will
flash every 3 seconds.
5. To begin shredding press the
button. The flashing icon
changes to a solid blue light. You are now able to shred.
6. Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area.
The Anti-Jam Mechanism will sense the thickness of the
paper being shredded.
If the paper stack thickness is greater than the shredder’s
sheet capacity, the Anti-Jam indicator will turn on and the
machine will reverse the paper. Please remove the stack
of paper and reduce the number of sheets to be within the
specified capacity
.
If the paper stack thickness is within the specified sheet
capacity, the blue Ready triangle
will remain on and
paper will be shredded.
Note:
Make sure the paper to be inserted is neatly stacked.
Anti-Jam Technology
This shredder will only shred stacks of paper within the specified
sheet capacity; if there are too many sheets, the stack of paper will
be rejected and the shredder will not start.
During the shredding process do not attempt to add more paper as
this will cause a paper overload and auto-reverse will start; paper
will then need to be removed.
Operation time
When the shredder is used continuously, the shredder may
overheat. If this occurs the overheat icon
will illuminate red.
When the shredder is ready to be used again the red overheat icon
will go out.
To resume shredding, press the On button
and start feeding
documents into the feed slot.
Reverse function
1. Should you wish to reverse the shredding direction while
shredding a document, use the reverse function
.
2. By pressing the reverse button the cutters will change direction
allowing the retrieval of the document being shredded.
3. The reverse function will only run while is being pressed.
When the reverse button is released the shredder will revert to
ready mode.
