3.1
Safety Devices
1.
Motor Thermal Overload Protection:
When the motor is locked or overloaded for an extended period
of time, the motor thermal protection is activated to cut off power.
The
THERMAL PROTECTION
indicator flashes and the gradation lamp is off. Wait until the
THERMAL
PROTECTION
indicator goes off to resume shredding. Wait time could be approximately 30 minutes.
2.
Cabinet Door Switch:
When you open the cabinet door, the power will shut off. To restore power close
the door and press the
Power
button.
3.
Overflow Stop:
When the waste basket becomes full, the
DISCARD WASTE
indicator will flash and
cutting operation will cease. The display will indicate
DISCARD WASTE
and the gradation lamp will shut
off. Discard the waste and place the waste bin back into the shredder cabinet. Flip the breaker switch to
the ON position if off, close the door, and push the
Power
button.
4.
Auto-Reverse:
The shredder will stop operation if media over the maximum capacity is fed into the feed
chute. The cutter unit will automatically reverse so the operator can remove the media. During this
time, the
READY TO SHRED
display indicator will flash while the gradation lamp flashes red.
5.
Breaker:
In the event an electrical problem occurs or the motor is locked for an extended period of time,
the breaker switch will activate to prevent any damage to the motor and/or electrical circuits. This is
also the main power switch.
6.
Feed Opening Switch:
The feed opening switch will activate if the feed chute is expanded due to
excessive feeding or a jam. The activation of the feed opening switch causes the shredder to cease
operation while the jam is being removed. The
Stop/Reverse/Restart
button can be held down during
this time.
7.
Auto Cleaning:
To prevent from jamming, the cutter rotates in the reverse direction after shredding or
when the waste basket becomes full. At this time the
READY TO SHRED
indicator will turn off and the
gradation lamp will illuminate green. Resume shredding when the
READY TO SHRED
indicator
illuminates and the gradation lamp illuminates blue.
