HT3SL Paper Shredder / Pencil Sharpener / Letter Opener
Setup:
1. Place the Pencil Shavings Retention Cup provided with your shredder, inside the
metal ring attached to the inside of the wire mesh basket.
2. Place the shredder head securely on top of the wastebasket. Make sure that the
shredder head sits flush on top of the wastebasket or else the shredder sharpener
and opener will not work.
3. Plug the power cord into any standard 115 volt AC outlet.
4. Place the Power Slide Switch in the AUTO position.
Operating the shredder:
The model HT3SL Power Slide 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 folded paper into the feed opening. The shredder will stop automatically when
the paper has completed its travel through the feed opening.
2. OFF is used to terminate the AC power to the shredder. This mode is recommended
when the shredder is not being used for a prolong period of time. When the switch
is in the OFF position, the Shredder, Sharpener and Opener will not work.
3. 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.
Shredder capacity:
The HT3SL will shred up to three (3) folded sheets of 20 lb. bond paper and will accept
paper widths up to 5". When shredding small material like envelopes or 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 prolong periods of
time.
3. Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding. The HT3SL 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 at the maximum sheet capacity (3 folded sheets), it is recommend
that 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 motor overload situations:
The HT3SL 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 3 folded sheet capacity continuously for
a prolonged period of time, eg. more than 2 minutes without stopping.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. inserting more than three (3) sheets of 20
lbs. paper at one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.
HT3SL Paper Shredder / Pencil Sharpener / Letter Opener
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the thermal motor overload
protection which terminates the power to the shredder. 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 with the AC power turned on. If
this occurs you should:
In case of a major paper:
1. Set the power switch to the OFF position or unplug the power cord from the AC
outlet and wait at least 15 minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out as you place the power switch
in the REV position. Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or
else serious harm could result.
3. Set the power switch back to the AUTO position.
4. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
Pencil Sharpener
1. To prevent motor damage, remove the pencil from the pencil opening when point
is sharpened.
2. Refrain from inserting hard materials such as pens, chalk, crayons or coloring pencils
which will damage or clog the cutting blades. Maximum pencil diameter should not
exceed 7.4mm. Standard #2 type pencil recommended
To use the Sharpener:
1. With the switch in the AUTO position, insert the pencil into the pencil opening. The
sharpening starts immediately.
2. Pull out pencil at the end of the sharpening cycle.
3. Be sure to empty the pencil shavings retention cup frequently.
To use the Letter Opener:
