Intended use
The PS 18 CD shredder may only be used to shred paper, CDs or credit cards in the
infeed slots provided. The material to be shredded must be dry and must correspond to
the specifications listed in the technical data. Shredding other materials can lead to
injuries (for example, if solid material splinters) or damage to the device (destruction of
the cutting unit, etc.).
Do not shred endless paper documents with this device. Remove all paper clips and
staples before feeding paper into the device.
The device may only be used indoors in dry rooms.
Starting up

in the paper collecting basket. Plug the mains cable into the socket. Please observe the energy
supply specifications on the back of the device in your safety measures.
The socket and the mains connection of the device must be freely accessible for safety
reasons so that the power supply can be disconnected in emergencies.
Operation
The sliding switch (REV, FWD CD/Card, AUTO) on the device has the following
functions:

Caution:
the sheet capacity given in the technical data may not be exceeded as oth-

it is folded and the recommended sheet capacity may be exceeded in this way. Reduce
the quantity of paper fed if it is coarse fibre paper.
