process will start when paper is inserted into the feed opening and will continue
until it has passed through the feed opening.
2.
The

Shredder capacity:
The Royal MC14MX 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.
ECO Friendly Energy Saver
Normally when heavy duty shredding is required, 6 to 14 sheets in a single pass, the
power wattage consumed is the same as most any paper shredder. When performing
light duty shredding, 1 to 5 sheets of paper in a single pass, the power wattage consumed
is very low, about 1/10 the power required to light a 60 watt light bulb. Shred speed
increases during a heavy duty shred cycle.
Basket Full Sensor
The MC14MX 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.

Royal MC14MX will cut staples, small paper clips and credit cards; however,
proper discretion is recommended.

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 MC14MX is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit.
The duty cycle for the MC14MX is rated for continuous shredding. The MC14MX 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.
3.
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.
