2.) Operating Instructions
2.1
Start up
Ensure that the unit is plugged in and the main power switch is on and press the
Power
button. The POWER
indicator will illuminate, and the gradation lamp will turn a solid blue color. When the
READY TO SHRED
indicator is illuminated, the machine is ready to begin shredding.
If the machine is idle for more than five minutes, the shredder will enter power saving mode and shut down
all power. To restore power simply press the
Power
button.
Note:
If shredding material is placed in the feed chute and then the
Power
button is pressed, the gradation
lamp will flash blue instead of being a solid color and an alarm will sound. Hit the
Stop/Reverse
button.
Once the gradation lamp is solid blue, the machine is ready to shred again.
2.2
Feeding Materials
Feed the material one piece at a time into the slot of the feed chute in a straight and even manner. The
auto-start will activate, and the shredding operation will begin once the media is detected by the sensor.
Warning:
Remove your hands immediately when the media begins shredding.
As you feed media the gradation lamp will change different colors based on the volume of the media being
fed. The colors are as follows:
•
Green (Good)
•
Yellow
•
Orange
•
Red
•
Flashes Red (Overloaded)
To ensure that the shredder continues to run effectively and efficiently, it is recommended to keep the
gradation lamp showing green. Do not exceed the maximum capacity.
If the machine capacity is exceeded and the gradation lamp begins flashing red, the blades will stop and
begin to reverse. Remove the media that was being fed and try again with a slower feed rate.
Note:
If the
AUTO RUN SUSPENDED
indicator flashes while the gradation lamp is flashing blue, media or a
foreign object is being detected in the feed chute.
