ShredMaster Jam-Free Technology*
ShredMaster Shredders will only shred stacks of paper that are within
the shredders sheet capacity. A shredder with a capacity between 20
and 22 sheets will not allow the shredding of more sheets than this.
Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of paper about to
be shredded. The ability to shred or not is communicated through red
and green lighting. Green means that the stack of paper is within the
shredders sheet capacity and OK to shred. Red means that you have too
much paper, remove some sheets in order to shred.
Given that you are unable to shred more sheets of paper than the
shredder is capable of shredding, paper jams are prevented.
This prevents time wasted through reversing paper and unblocking jams
not to mention the mess it can create.
IMPORTANT! Do not attempt to shred more paper while paper is already
being shredded. By attempting to force paper down the front or back of
a batch of paper that is being pulled into the machine, you can jam the
shredder. The anti-jam technology will work reliably if used
as instructed.
*Jam Free when used in accordance with this instruction manual.
Safety First
Shredders are safe to use as long as you take a few safety precautions.
• Ensure the machine is plugged into an easily accessible power outlet,
and ensure the cable is not likely to trip up a passer by.
• Any attempt to repair this unit by unqualified personnel will invalidate
the warranty. Please return to supplier.
• Unplug your shredder before moving it or when it is not in use for an
extended period of time.
• Do not operate with a damaged power supply cord or plug, after it
malfunctions, or after it has been damaged in any manner.
• Do not overload electrical outlets beyond capacity as this can result in
fire or electrical shock.

easily accessible.
• Do not alter the attachment plug. The plug is configured for the
appropriate electrical supply.

advised to operate the machine near children.
