Intended use
The PS 850 CCD 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
-
Take the device carefully out of the packaging and reinstall the paper collection basket.
Insert the inner collecting basket (for CDs and credit cards) at the top in the paper
collecting basket and slide it to the front as far as possible.
-
Plug the mains cable into the socket. Please observe the energy supply specificati-
ons 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 / OFF / AUTO) on the device has the following
Functions: AUTO position: the device is ready for operation.
The device is equipped with microswitches. Shredding operating of the respective cutting
unit starts automatically as soon as material is fed through the infeed slot.
- Insert the paper, individual CD or individual credit card in the respective infeed slot in the
cutting unit.
-
The device runs forwards and draws the paper in.
-
The device switches off automatically after the shredding cycle. The motor carries on
running for another 2-3 seconds to remove the remaining paper from the cutting unit.
OFF position: The device is switched off.
REV position: the cutting unit runs in reverse. To hold the rest of the material back, you
can push the sliding switch in the REV position. The cutting unit runs backwards and
pushes the material back.
Caution:
the sheet capacity given in the technical data may not be exceeded as oth-
erwise a paper jam will occur. Remember that the thickness of the paper increases
when 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.
it is recommended not to fill the paper collection basket up to the cutting unit. This
prevents cut material becoming jammed in the cutting unit.
Empty the paper collection basket at regular intervals.
