Operation
Paper / Credit Card / CD Entry:
NOTE:
• Always turn off and unplug the shredder when not in use.
• This shredder will shred staples and small paper clips. It is recommended that you remove paper clips
whenever possible to extend the lifespan of your shredder.
• Overfeeding the shredder: Shredding beyond the specified sheet capacity can result in extensive
damage to the shredder. Overfeeding will strain the machine and quickly wear and break the cutting
blades and internal components.
• Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shred continuously beyond the
maximum running time and overheating, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the
shredder off for 30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
