Thermal Cut-off Feature
This shredder 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.
Bin Full
There is a see through window on the front of the basket. When the
chips reach the middle of this window it is time to jog the bin or empty
the basket.
Empty Waste Bin
Pull out cabinet drawer to empty basket (
fig. B
).
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" of 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.
Forward and Reverse
Moving the switch to either of these positions will cause the unit to run
in the corresponding direction.
On/Auto
Simply insert paper into the centre of the throat. Once your document
has activated the trigger switch, the unit will turn on automatically.
Installation
Position the shredder onto the basket. Once the unit is correctly
positioned on the basket, plug it into a standard AC outlet (
fig. A
).
Service
Do not attempt to service or repair the unit yourself. If your shredder is
under warranty return it to the point of purchase for replacement or
repair. If your shredder is no longer under the point of purchase return
period and requires replacement or repair, please contact your supplier
for further assistance.
