Preparation before use
How to use the shredder correctly:
Take care not to insert fingers, ties or other objects into the
entry slot of the shredder.
We recommend to remove staples and paperclips, avoid
laminating materials, plastic bags etc. from being passed
through the shredder. This will prevent damage to the
cutters.
Do not shred wet paper as it can tangle in the cutters.
Do not shred more than the stated sheet capacity in one
pass.
Do not shred continuously for more than 3 minutes 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 40 minutes before resuming use.
Do not use the reverse
( )
function if it’s not necessary.
Over use of the reverse
( )
function can result in
shredded paper becoming jammed in the entry slot, which
will adversely affect the performance of the shredder.
Rare Occasions of Jamming
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, use the reverse
function to unblock the shredder (see Reverse function section).
Alternating between the reverse and continuous forward
functions will help unblock the feed area.
Over Heating
If this product is used continuously for long periods of time the
shredder may overheat. If this occurs the thermometer symbol
on the indicator panel will illuminate.
When the shredder is ready to be used again the thermometer
symbol will not illuminate.
Bin Full
Empty or compress the shredded paper when it reaches the
bottom of the viewing window. This will avoid paper spilling
over or difficulty in removing the bin when it is too full. Over
filling the bin may cause the bin to jam.
Once the bin is empty, replace correctly or the shredder will not
function.
Lubrication of the Shredder
Only use Rexel Oil Sheets (2101948 & 2101949) to lubricate.
ACCO Brands accepts no liability for product performance or
safety when other types or brands of lubricants are used on any
part(s) of this machine.
Reverse Function
Should you wish to reverse the shredding direction whilst
shredding a document, a reverse button (f) has been fitted
for your convenience.
By pressing the reverse button the shredding cutters will
change direction allowing the retrieval of the document
being shredded.
The reverse function will only run whilst the button is being
pressed. When the reverse button has been released the
shredder will revert to Auto mode.
CD and Credit Card Shredding
Insert CD to be shredded into the feed area (d).
A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded CD
shards. Ensure that this is correctly mounted onto the bin
before shredding CDs or credit cards. CD and credit card
shards should be disposed of separately to paper.
Empty the CD tray after 8 credit cards or CD’s to avoid
waste spilling over into the paper waste bin. Remove the CD
tray before recommencing to shred paper.
Operation
After unpacking the product, pull out the shredder bin and
remove the CD shard tray and store externally. Reposition
the CD shard tray when you shred CD’s to separate waste
for recycling.
Connect shredder to mains supply.
Ensure the on/off button on the back of the machine is in
the on position (a).
To commence shredding, press the central Auto button (e).
This sets the shredder into auto mode. The standby symbol
will illuminate blue.
Insert paper (or credit card) to be shredded into the feed
area (c).
If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 2 minutes
without being used, the shredder will automatically turn
back to standby mode in order to save power.
The shredder will automatically ‘wake up’ from sleep mode
when paper is inserted into the shredder mouth. There is no
need to press the Auto button (e).
