etc.).
5.4. Do not destroy any continuous forms with this machine! Remove all paper clips

7. Using the machine
6.1. Carefully remove the machine from the packaging. Install the inner collection bin
(for CDs
) in the paper container. Insert the plug in the mains socket. Observe
the power supply information at the rear of the machine for the necessary pre-
cautionary measures.
6.2. The wall outlet and the mains connection of the machine must be freely acces-
sible for safety reasons so that the power supply can be quickly disconnected in
case of emergencies!
8. Remedying a jam
!
9. Motor protection
The motor switches off automatically in case of overload. Disconnect the mains
plug from the wall outlet and allow the motor to cool down to room tempera-
ture. Then reconnect the mains plug into the wall outlet and continue operation.
10. Notes on care and maintenance
Please note:
Maintenance work may only be performed when the mains plug is disconnected!
So that you can enjoy your Paper Shredder for a long time, we recommend regu-
larly removing residues from the cutting unit and applying special Paper Shredder
oil to the cutting unit. This helps to extend the lifetime of the machine.
11. Machine malfunctions
!
When too much paper is fed into the cutting unit, a jam occurs.
Proceed as follows:
Push the sliding switch into the Paper Rev / CD position
.
The cutting unit runs backwards and pushes the excess paper back out. Reduce
the amount of paper and switch back to Paper Auto. The cutting unit now runs
forwards again and the remainder is shredded. If the blockage is not elimina-
ted through the backwards/forwards advance, disconnect the mains plug and
manually remove the remainder from the cutting unit.
Problem
Cause
Solution
Machine does not
work
Is the mains plug properly
inserted in the wall outlet?
Insert the mains plug correctly in
the wall outlet.
Is the sliding switch in the Off

The motor does not start after
paper was fed?
Insert the paper or the CD into the
respective inlet slot until it touches
the sensor in the centre.
Machine no longer
works after a
longer period of
operation, or stops
during operation
Was the machine in continuous
operation for a longer period
of time? Is the surface of the
machine warm?
Disconnect the mains plug from
the wall outlet and allow the motor
to cool down to room temperature.
Jam
Did you insert more than 7
sheets of paper (80g/m²), or
more than one CD? Was the
material fed crookedly into the
inlet slot?
Position the sliding switch to Paper
Auto to push the paper back. Then
switch back to AUTO to shred the
remaining paper in the cutting
unit.
If you were unable to eliminate the error yourself, please contact your dealer or
call the Service Hotline.

7.1. The sliding switch (Paper Auto, Off, Paper Rev / CD)
on the machine has the
following functions: Paper Auto position: The machine is ready for use.
7.2. The machine has micro-switches: The shredding operation of the cutting unit
(max. cutting capacity 7 sheets)
starts automatically as soon as paper is inserted
through the inlet opening. The machine switches to forward advance and pulls in
the material. After the shredding procedure, the machine switches off automatically.
7.3. Paper Rev / CD position
: Insert the single CD into the designated inlet slot
of the CD cutting unit.
7.4. The paper cutting unit runs backwards. To keep back the remaining paper, you
can push the sliding switch to the Paper Rev / CD position and the cutting unit will
push back the material.
7.5. Off position: The machine is switched off
.
7.6. Please note: The capacity recommended in the Technical Data may not be excee-
ded, otherwise jamming will occur! Please note that the thickness of the paper is
increased when folded, which would then exceed the recommended sheet capaci-
ty. Reduce the paper amount for rough fibre paper as well. It is recommended not
to allow the paper catch basket to fill up directly to the cutting unit. This prevents
the shredded material from jamming the cutting unit.
Regularly empty the paper catch basket
