1 The QCC3 should be placed on a flat level surface. Depending on the type of
floor surface where the shredder is to be placed, casters have been included
and can be installed easily. It’s recommended that the casters are only being
used if the shredder is placed on a hard, smooth surface.
2 To install the casters, carefully lay the shredder on its back. Place the long
post of each caster inside the hole located in each corner on the bottom of
the shredder. Push each caster into place until you hear or feel it snap and
lock in place. Place the shredder in an upright position. Make sure that the
shredder stands evenly and that all 4 casters fit squarely on the floor.
3 Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted into the shredder
cabinet and that it fits flush with the shredder cabinet.
4 Plug the power cord into any standard 220~240-volt AC outlet.
5 Place the slide switch in the AUTO position. The Power Ready LED should
light up. You are now ready to start shredding.
OPERAting tHE SHREDDER
When the electrical cord is plugged in, the slide switch is into AUTO position and
the shredder wastebasket is properly in place, the Power LED will light up. This
means the shredder is now ready to operate. When the paper is inserted into the
feed opening, the shredding process will start automatically and stop when the
paper has completed its travel through the feed opening.
The QCC3 slide switch and the Power Ready LED are located on the top of the
shredder. Their purposes are:
1 When the slide switch is in the AUTO position, the shredding process will
start when paper is inserted into the feed opening and will continue until it
has completely passed through the feed opening.
2 The REV position on the slide switch is used to assist in the removal of a
paper jam. It reverses the shredding process prior to a completed forward
cycle, thus clearing the cutters. When switching from AUTO to REV, always
stop in the OFF position to prevent possible damage to the motor.
3 The OFF position is used to terminate the AC power to the shredder. It is rec-
ommended to turn the shredder off when not in use for a prolonged period
of time.
4 When the Power LED is lit up, it lets the user know that the wastebasket is
inserted correctly and that the shredder is turned on and ready for use. If
the Power LED does not light up, make sure that the plug is plugged in, the
basket is inserted correctly and that the Power button is pressed.
5 The shredder is equipped with a light that shines into the basket as paper is
being shredded. The light can be seen through the viewing window in the
front of the basket. The light is used to help alert the user when the basket is
full.
SHREDDER CAPACity
The QCC3 will shred up to 10 sheets of standard 80g A4 paper. When shredding
small material like envelopes, credit cards or receipts, insert them through the
middle of the feed opening. Credit cards should be inserted one at a time.
When shredding CD’s and DVD’s , they should be inserted one at a time into the
designated CD slot only.

SituAtiOnS
The QCC3 is equipped with a motor overload protection device and current lim -
iter circuit. The normal short duty cycle for continuous shredding at maximum
capacity is 2 minutes on and 40 minutes off. The power may terminate automati
-
cally in case of the following abnormal situations:
1 Operating the shredder at the maximum10-sheet capacity continuously for a
prolonged period of time, e.g. More than 2 minutes without stopping.
2 Exceeding the shredding capacity, e.g. Inserting more than 10 sheets of
standard 80 g A4 paper at one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into
the feed opening.
t
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the current limiter
circuit or the thermal motor overload protection, which terminates the power
to the shredder. A minor paper jam will terminate the power to the motor tem-
porarily.The current limiter circuit can be reset immediately by removing the jam
whereas a major paper jam could cause the thermal motor overload protection
to terminate AC power to the motor. Never allow the shredder to remain in a
jammed condition when the AC power turned on.
in CASE Of A minOR PAPER jAm
1 Make sure that all of the excess paper has been removed from the feed
opening.
2 You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
in CASE Of A mAjOR PAPER jAm
1 Set the power switch to the OFF position or unplug the power cord from the
AC outlet and wait at least 40 minutes for the overload protection to reset.
2 Tear or cut off any excess paper from the top of the shredder.
3 Plug the power cord back into the AC outlet and place the power switch in
the REV position to reverse the jammed paper. Pull out the paper remaining
in the cutters.
4 You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
CAutiOnS
1 Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewelry, hair or other small items away
from the feed opening to prevent injury.
2 Keep shredder turned OFF or unplugged when not in use for a prolonged
period of time.
3 Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding . The QCC3
will cut staples, however this is not recomended.
4 Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as this could result
into serious injuries.
5 Continuous shredding of computer paper should not exceed 2 minutes. If
continuous use is required at the maximum sheet capacity (10 sheets), it is
recommended that shredding time should be 2 minutes on and 40 minutes
off to allow a proper cooling of the motor.
6 Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or empty-
ing the wastebasket.
7 Empty the wastebasket frequently to avoid paper jams caused by shredding
material being pulled back into the cutter assembly.
8 Never allow children to shred or play with paper shredders. Serious injury
could occur!
9 Never spray canned air or any type of spray lubricant into the shredder while
shredder is plugged in as this could result into serious injuries.
10 Never place any lubricants or cleaning solutions in the paper shredder as this
could result into serious injuries.
