TECHNICAL DATA
The KOBRA 240.1/260.1/300.1/300.2 are shredders suitable for single
sheets, computer printouts, CD-ROMS, DVDS and CREDIT CARDS.
INSTALLATION Fig.1
Use a socket that is easy to access and near the shredder.
Take the shredder out of the packaging, position the head (A) on the
cabinet (B).
Open the door (C), take the waste bag holder (D) off its tracks (E).
Fit the plastic waste bag (F) which comes with the shredder to the holder
(D) and put it back on its tracks (E). Push the waste bag holder all the way
in and close the door again.
HOW TO USE THE SHREDDER Fig.2
Once the machine is plugged in, press the switch (H) to the “I” position,
the light (S) will come on for a few seconds, then if the shredder is not
used it will go off automatically leaving the machine on stand-by to save
energy.
Documents can now be shredded at any time.
Wit the switch (H) in the “0” position all functions are switched off.
With the switch (H) in the “R” position, shredding can be halted at any
moment and with any kind of paper and the document may be extracted
by putting the machine into reverse.
SHREDDING SINGLE SHEETS
Insert sheets into the throat and the light (S) comes on as the machine
automatically starts shredding thanks to two electronic eyes inside the
throat which detect the passage of the paper and automatically halt the
cutting knives a few seconds after shredding has finished.
If the amount of paper inserted exceeds the maximum shred load of the
machine, it will stop shredding and reverse rotation of the rollers for a few
seconds before stopping.
Remove the unshredded paper from the throat and free the electronic
eyes, then insert less paper in the throat and the machine will restart
automatically to complete shredding with a shred cycle.
It is best to limit jams caused by inserting too much paper at a time and
operate the machine below maximum shred capacity in order to prolong
the life of the mechanical parts and the shredder itself.
SHREDDING CD-ROMS/DVDS/CREDIT CARDS
The machines suitable for shredding CDS/DVDS and credit cards come
with a protective door (G) Fig. 2 which must be rotated to the back of the
machine when shredding paper and must be rotated to the front when
shredding CREDIT CARDS–CD-ROMS/DVDS, because it guides the
optical material within range of the optical eyes cells and protects the
operator from any plastic fragments.
AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS
The KOBRA 240.1 – 260.1 – 300.1 - 300.2 models come with the
following automatic functions:
-ELECTRONIC EYES for automatic startup of the machine as soon as
paper is inserted into the throat of the shredder.
-AUTOMATIC REVERSE anti-jamming feature if more than the maximum
load is inserted into the shredder which switches off the electric motor and
then goes into reverse for a few seconds to free the cutting knives and put
the machine on stand by.
To resume shredding, remove paper from the throat and free the
electronic eyes of paper, then insert less paper into the throat.
-MOTOR SAVER to halt the shredder if it overheats.
(In case automatic stop, leave the machine off for at least 10/15minutes.
The shredder will start up again automatically.
(If motor saver comes on, leave the machine to cool down for at least
10/15 minutes and then it will start up again automatically).
-AUTOMATIC STOP if the bag is full or the door is open, shredding stops
and a red light comes on (L).
-ENERGY SMART SYSTEM, automatically reduces consumption when it
is on stand-by and 12 seconds have passed since the last shred cycle.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
KOBRA 240.1 – 260.1 – 300.1 - 300.2 models require no particular
maintenance or care.
However it is better in the case of particle shredding and high security
“HS” shredders to lubricate the cutting knives with the KOBRA oil that
comes with the machine if you notice any drop in shredding capacity.
The cutting knives can be lubricated by sprinkling some oil on a sheet of
paper and then shredding it or else by dripping oil directly onto the cutting
knives.
NEVER use synthetic oil, benzene-based products or
Fire aerosol lubricants of any kind on or in the vicinity of the
Hazard
machine
