Attach all 4 caster wheels to the bottom of the wastebasket.
Mount the shredder securely to the rim of the waste basket. Make sure the basket door is securely closed
shut. This shredder features a safety power cut off and will not operate if door is open. Shredders with
pull-out wastebaskets feature a safety power cut off upon bin removal. (FIGURE 1)
A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
Connect the power cord to any standard 120 volt AC outlet.
This shredder includes a built-in safety mechanism that requires the shredder to be
correctly mounted on the supplied wastebasket.
It is not designed to operate with any other
wastebaskets. An activation switch located on the head unit automatically shuts off the shredder when it is
lifted or removed. The supplied wastebasket activates this switch, which allows the shredder to be operable.
Lining the wastebasket with a plastic bag will interfere and may keep the shredder from functioning.
Caution:
MicroShred shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the underside.
Use care when mounting the shredder on the wastebasket.

ShredSafe™
technology is an added safety feature incorporated in this particular model. It is a
new technology where the shredder is able to detect forced entry and automatically cuts the power off,
preventing further shredding.
To begin shredding, locate the switch on the unit and select the “Auto” mode (FIGURE 2). The Green LED
light indicates the shredder is “On” and ready to use. Press the designated “push open” area on cover to tilt
open and expose the paper feed slot (FIGURE 3). When the "Basket is Full", the RED light will indicate it
needs to be emptied. While lit, the shredder will be inoperable until the wastebasket is cleared.
The cover will click into a preset position for safe shredding.*
Paper feeds from both left and right sides. With the feed slot now open, you can shred sheets of paper or
1 credit card per pass (FIGURE 4).
When shredding is completed, you can press the designated “push close” area on the cover to tilt shut
the paper feed slot (FIGURE 5). It is recommended to have the paper feed slot closed when shredder is
not in use. This will prevent any objects from getting into the feed slot and accidentally shredded.
*Be sure to not tilt open the cover completely beyond the preset position, otherwise the
ShredSafe™ power cut off feature will be activated and the shredder will be inoperable.
Auto:
This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting paper into the shred
opening. Always feed the paper in as straight as possible. Paper feeds from both left and right sides.
When the paper has passed through, the shredder will automatically stop. (FIGURE 2)
Off:
This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend that
you leave the shredder in the "Off" position whenever the shredder is unattended or not in
use. (FIGURE 2)
Rev:
In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear the cutters
of paper that has not passed through. Never attempt to clear a jam by using the reverse function
until you have emptied the wastebasket. (FIGURE 2)

Never shred plastic (except credit cards), any hard materials, continuous forms,
newsprint, or anything with adhesives including labels and envelopes.
While this shredder will shred staples, it is recommended that you remove them whenever possible in
order to extend the life of your shredder.
Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically within the designated area.
Never feed more than one credit card at a time.
