ROYAL AT-140HG PAPER SHREDDER
Setup:
1.
Insert the 4 casters into the holes located in the bottom of the shredder housing.
Press the firmly until they snap into place.
2.
Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted into the shredder cabinet
and that it fits flush with the shredder cabinet.
3.
Plug the power cord into any standard 115-volt AC outlet.
4. Depress the ON/OFF ( ) button. The READY LED should light up. You are now
ready to start shredding.
Operating the shredder:
With the electrical cord plugged in, with the
ON/OFF
( ) button depressed and with
the shredder wastebasket properly in place, the LED will light up. This means that
the shredder is now ready for operation. When 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
ON/OFF
( ) button is located on the top of
the shredder. Also located on top of the shredder is the LED , REVERSE ( << ) and
FORWARD
(
>>
) button. Their purposes are:
1. When the ON/OFF ( ) button is pressed, the shredding process will start when
paper is inserted into the feed opening and will continue until it has passed through
the feed opening.
2.
The
REVERSE
(
<<
) button is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which
reverses the shredding process prior to a completed forward cycle, thus clearing
the cutters. When switching from
REVERSE
(
<<
) to
FORWARD
(
>>
), always
allow the motor to stop to prevent possible damage to the motor.
3.
The
OFF
( ) position is used to terminate the AC power to the shredder. It is
recommended to turn the shredder off when the shredder is not being used for
a prolonged period of time.
4. When the ready READY 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
LED does not light up, make sure that the plug is plugged in, the basket is inserted
correctly and the
ON/OFF
( ) is depressed.
Shredder capacity:
The ROYAL AT-140HG will shred up to ten (10) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will accept
paper widths up to 8 1/2". When shredding small material like envelopes, receipts or a credit
card insert them in 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 the shredder turned off or unplugged when not in use for prolonged
periods of time.
3. Remove all paper clips from paper before shredding. The ROYAL AT-140HG
will cut staples and credit cards; however, proper discretion is recommended.
4. Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injury
could result.
5. When manually changing feed direction, pause long enough for the motor
to stop.
6. Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or
emptying the wastebasket.

7. Empty the wastebasket frequently to avoid possible paper jams caused
by shredded material being pulled back into the cutter assembly.
8. Never allow children to shred or play with paper shredder or else serious
injury could occur
Paper jams and motor overload situations:
The ROYAL AT-140HG is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit.
The AT-140HG will automatically terminate power in case of the following abnormal situations:
1.
Operating the shredder at the maximum 10-sheet capacity continuously for a
prolonged period of time.
2.
Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than ten (10) sheets of
20-lbs. paper in 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 thermal motor
overload protection circuit, which terminates the power to the shredder. A 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 with the AC power
turned on. If this occurs you should:
In case of a minor paper jam and the OVERLOAD LED will Light.
1.
Grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out as you depress the
REVERSE
(
<<
) button. Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or else
serious harm could result.
2.
Make sure that all of the excess paper has been removed from the feed opening.
3.
You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
In case of a major paper jam and the OVERHEAT LED will Light.
1.
Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait approximately
30 minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2.
Plug in the AC power cord and depress the
ON/OFF
( ) button. If paper was
left inside the feed opening prior to the overload, press the
REVERSE
(
>>
)
position and grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out. Be careful not
to place your fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could result. Clear
any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
3.
You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
