Reverse Function
Should you wish to reverse the shredding direction whilst
shredding a document, a reverse button(8) has been fitted
for your convenience.
By pressing the reverse button(8) 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(8) has been
released the shredder will revert to Auto mode.
Lubrication of the Shredder
Over Heating
If this product is used continuously for a long period of time the
shredder may overheat. To protect the motor, the shredder will
automatically cut off and the cool down indicator
( )
will
illuminate. Please allow it to cool down before resuming use.
Operation
Connect shredder to mains supply.
Check that the ON/OFF switch(5) at the right side of the
machine is switched to the ‘ON’ position.
To commence shredding, press the power button(6). This
will illuminate the blue symbol ( ) on the power button,
which sets the shredder into auto mode. You are now
ready to shred. Insert paper to be shredded into the paper
throat(1). The shredder will detect the paper and start
automatically.
CD and Credit Card Shredding:
A separate media tray(16) is provided to collect the
shredded CD and credit cards shards. Ensure that this is
correctly mounted onto the waste bin before shredding.
1. Credit Card: Insert the magnetic strip side of the card
horizontally into the card throat(3).
2. CD/DVD: Insert CD into the CD/DVD throat(2).
Note: Only shred 1 credit card or 1 CD at a time.
Empty the media tray after each use to avoid waste
spilling over into the paper waste bin.
After shredding, press the power button(6) to OFF power
and switch the main power switch(5) at the right side of the
machine
to the ‘OFF’ position.
Note: To protect the motor, papers and CD or credit
cards cannot be shredded simultaneously. For
paper shredding, the paper width should not exceed
the width of the paper throat.
Bin Full
The shredder will not function when the bin is full and the bin
full indicator
( )
will illuminate. Please empty the bin.
Pull open the bin slowly to empty.
Push the empty bin back into place and press the auto
button to resume shredding.
Note: Over filling the bin may cause paper jam. Empty
the bin regularly to avoid paper spilling over or
difficulty in removing the bin when it is too full.
Door Open Safety Function
As a safety precaution, if the bin is pull out during shredding,
the shredder will stop and the door open indicator will
illuminate
( )
.
Note: Please ensure that the bin is fitted
properly so that the interlock switch is triggered. In the
event that the bin is not closed properly, the machine
will not be able to start shredding.
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the paper jam
indicator ( ) will illuminate. Shredder will stop shredding
and automatically reverse to clear paper jam. If paper jam
cannot be resolved by auto jam clearance, try clearing the jam
using the reverse ( ) and foward ( ) function to unblock
the feed area. Do not do this too quickly as this can damage
the shredder.
WARNING - Do not under any circumstances use any
metal objects (scissors, letter openers etc.) in an
attempt to clear the jam as this may cause serious
injury.
Only use Rexel Oil Sheets (2101948) 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.
Rare Occasions of Jamming
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.
