3.

 Depress the

( ) 

button.  The

 

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 forward and reverse buttons.
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 

on/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 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 SC180MX will shred up to eighten (18) 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 and credit cards only.  CDs and DVDs should be placed in the
slotted opening marked for CDs.

Basket Full Sensor

The SC180MX is equipped with an electronic basket full sensor.  When the wastebasket
becomes full, an alarm will beep three times, the OVERLOAD 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 SC180MX 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

Paper jams and motor overload situations:

The Royal SC180MX is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit.
The duty cycle for the SC180MX is rated for continuous shredding.  The MC80MX
will automatically terminate power in case of the following abnormal situations:

1.

Operating the shredder at the maximum 18-sheet capacity continuously for a 
prolonged period of time. 

2.

Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than eighteen (18) 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 30-45 
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.
