ROYAL AG55X PAPER SHREDDER
Setup:
1. AG55x Paper Shredder Wastebasket Base Installation Instructions
Place the wastebasket firmly on the ground upside down as shown in
Fig. 1. Align the four (4) plastic locking tabs shown in Fig. 2 with the
four (4) rectangular mounting holes in the bottom of the wastebasket
as shown in Fig. 3. With your thumb, apply downward pressure to the
90% corners of all four (4) locking tabs as shown in Fig. 4. With all four
(4) tabs locked securely in place, turn the wastebasket right side up and
place the shredder head securely on top.
2.
Place the shredder securely on top of the wastebasket. Be sure not to
allow your fingers to get between the basket and the shredder as you
are placing the shredder in place.
3.
Plug the power cord into any standard 115-volt AC outlet.
4.
Place the Main Switch in the
AUTO
position. The green
LED
should
illuminate. If the
LED
does not light up, lift the shredder out of the
wastebasket and place it back in so that it sits flush inside of the
wastebasket.
Operating the shredder:
The
Main Switch
is located on the top of the shredder. The
Main Switch
has three (3) settings.
1.
When
AUTO
is selected, the shredding process is started automatically
by inserting the paper into the feed opening. The shredder will stop
automatically when the paper has completed its travel through the feed
opening.
2.
REV
is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which reverses the
shredding process prior to a completed cycle, thus clearing the cutters.
3.
OFF
position is recommended when emptying the wastebasket or when
the shredder is not in use for a prolonged period of time.
NOTE: The LED lights up in AUTO position only.
Shredder capacity:
AG55X will shred five (5) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will accept paper
widths up to 8 3/4". When shredding small material like envelopes or credit
card receipts, insert them through the middle of the feed opening.
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 in the
OFF
position when the shredder is not in use for prolonged
periods of time.
3.
Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding. Unit
will cut staples, however it is not recommended.
4.
Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injury
could result.
5.
Continuous shredding of computer paper should not exceed 2 minutes.
If continuous use is required, it is recommend that the shredding time
should be 2 minute on and 4 minute off to allow for proper cooling of
the motor.
6.
Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or
emptying the wastebasket.
7.
Empty wastebasket frequently.
Paper jams and overload protection:
AG55x is equipped with a motor overload protection device. The normal short
duty cycle for continuous shredding at maximum capacity is 2 minutes on and
4 minutes off. The power may terminate automatically in case of the following
abnormal situations:
1.
Operating the shredder at the maximum capacity continuously for a
prolonged period of time, eg. more than 2 minutes without stopping.
2.
Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. inserting more than five (5) sheets
of 20-lb. paper at one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the
feed opening.
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic motor
overload protection, which terminates the power to the unit. If this occurs you
should:
1.
Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 4 minutes
for the overload protection to reset. Tear or cut off any excess paper from
the top of the shredder.
2.
Plug the power cord back into the AC outlet and place the Main Switch in
REV.
Pull the remaining paper out of the cutters. Place the Main Switch
back to the
Auto
position and if neccessary,
clear the feed opening of any remaining shredded pieces of paper. Keep
fingers away from feed opening to avoid harm.
3.
With the Main Switch in the
AUTO
position and the feed opening clear, you
are now ready to resume normal shredding.
