ROYAL HC1501 MICROCUT PAPER SHREDDER
Setup:
1. Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted into the shredder cabinet
and that it fits flush with in the cabinet.
2. Plug the power cord into any standard 115-volt AC outlet.
3. Depress the power
(
)
button. The
LED should light up. You are now ready to
start shredding.
Operating the shredder:
With the electrical cord plugged in, with the
power
(
)
button depressed, and the
shredder wastebasket properly in place, the LED will light up. This means 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
power
(
)
button is located on the top of the
shredder. The forward and reverse buttons are also located on top of the shredder.
Their purposes are:
1. When the power
(
)
button is pressed, the power LED will illuminate, 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 power
(
)
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 LED is illuminated 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 illuminate, make sure that the plug is plugged in, the basket is inserted
correctly and the
power
(
)
is depressed.
Shredder capacity:
The Royal HC1501 will shred up to fourteen (14) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will
accept paper widths up to 8 3/4". When shredding small material like envelopes,
receipts or a credit card insert them in the middle of the feed opening. Never place or
attempt to shred CDs or DVDs in the paper feed opening. The paper feed opening is
designed to shred paper only. CDs, DVDs and credit cards should be placed in the
slotted opening marked for CDs and Credit Cards.
Basket Full Sensor
The HC1501 is equipped with an electronic basket full LED and sensor. When the
wastebasket becomes full, the bin full LED will then illuminate. If this occurs, empty the
wastebasket. You can now 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 the shredder turned off or unplugged when not in use for prolonged
periods of time.
3. Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding. The
Royal HC1501 will cut staples, small paper clips 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
Paper jams and motor overload situations:
The Royal HC1501 is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit.
The duty cycle for the HC1501 is rated for continuous shredding. The HC1501 will
automatically terminate power in case of the following abnormal situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum 14-sheet capacity continuously for a
prolonged period of time.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than fourteen (14)
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 the overload LED will light up:
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. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
In case of a major paper jam the overheat LED will light up:
1. Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 30
minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Plug in the AC power cord and depress the power
(
)
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.
