Operation
1. Remove the shredder from the packaging and place the bin
inside the shredder housing. Plug the power cord into the rear
of the shredder.
2. Connect the shredder to an appropriate mains supply.
Ensure the on/off switch is in the ‘on’ position. The blue
shredder in operation icon
will flash every 3 seconds.
3. To commence shredding press the
button. The flashing icon
changes to a solid blue light. You are now able to shred.
4. Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The Anti-Jam
Mechanism will sense the thickness of the paper being
shredded.
If the paper stack thickness is greater than the shredder’s
sheet capacity, the Anti-Jam indicator will turn on. Please
remove the stack of paper and reduce the number of sheets to
within the specified capacity
.
If the paper stack thickness is within the specified sheet
capacity, the blue Ready triangle will remain on and paper will
be shredded
.
Note:
Make sure the paper to be inserted is neatly stacked.
If the paper thickness is within the shredder’s capacity, the
motor will start and your documents will be shredded. The
cutters will stop once the shredding process is complete.
5. If the paper thickness is greater than the shredder’s capacity
the auto reverse icon will flash red
and the motor will run in
reverse.
Anti-Jam Technology
This shredder will only shred stacks of paper within the specified
sheet capacity; if there are too many sheets, the stack of paper
will be rejected and the shredder will not start.
During the shredding process do not attempt to add more paper
as this will cause a paper overload and auto-reverse will start;
paper will then need to be removed.
Operation time
When the shredder is used continuously, the shredder may
overheat. If this occurs the overheat icon
will illuminate red.
When the shredder is ready to be used again the red overheat icon
will go out.
To resume shredding, press the On button and start feeding
documents into the feed slot.
Reverse function
1. Should you wish to reverse the shredding direction whilst
shredding a document a reverse function has been fitted for
your convenience.
2. By pressing the reverse button the cutters will change direction
allowing the retrieval of the document being shredded.
3. The reverse function will only run whilst is being pressed.
When the reverse button is released the shredder will revert to
ready mode.
