Dynex DX-OP102971 Shredder
Strip-cut shredder with 5-sheet capacity
This Dynex shredder is specially designed for shredding small quantities
of paper in your home or office.
Important safety instructions
• Read all instructions before using the shredder.
• Save these instructions for your future reference.
• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the shredder.
F
OR
YOUR
SAFETY
Do
not
use the shredder if:
• The power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
• Liquid has been spilled on the shredder.
• If the shredder does not operate normally when the operating
instructions are followed.
If any of these events occur, do not try to service the shredder yourself.
Unplug the shredder from the power outlet and refer servicing to quali-
fied technicians.
C
AUTIONS
• Keep personal and loose items (jewelry, neckties, long hair, etc.)
away from the paper feeder to avoid serious injury.
• Keep out of reach of children and pets.
• Avoid spilling liquids on the shredder.
• The shredder should never be placed near or over a radiator or
heat source.
• Do not shred paper clips, staples, laminated items, photographs,
plastic bags, or cloth material. These materials can damage the
cutting system.
• Do not insert wet paper. Wet paper can damage the shredder.
• Do not shred more than five sheets of paper per pass. Continuous
operation should not exceed 50 sheets. When shredding for a long
period of time or leaving the shredder’s power switch
ON
while
paper is jammed, the motor may become overheated and stop. If
this occurs, move the switch
OFF
and allow the motor to cool for
30 minutes before resuming operation.
• Use
REV
only when necessary. Frequent reverse operation may
cause paper particles to accumulate around the feeder and affect
shredding ability.
• Always turn the switch
OFF
and unplug the shredder before mov-
ing, servicing, cleaning, or any other action other than normal
operation.
• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.
Operating
To shred paper:
1
Plug the shredder’s power cord into an AC power outlet.
2
Slide the power switch to
ON/AUTO
. The shredder is now in
standby mode.
3
Insert the paper squarely into the opening at the top of the shred-
der. The shredder pulls the paper in automatically.
4
To remove shredded paper from the waste basket, slide the power
switch to
OFF
, unplug the power cord, then lift the head off the
waste basket.
Troubleshooting
If the shredder does not work correctly, check the following:
• Is the shredder plugged in?
• Is the power switch set to
ON
?
• Is the shredder jammed? (see “When a jam occurs” below)
• Is the shredder’s motor overheated?
If none of the above applies and the shredder still does not run, contact
Customer Service at (800) 305-2204.
When a jam occurs:
1
Slide the power switch to
REV
. The motor reverses, ejecting
jammed material out the top of the shredder. Sometimes it may
be necessary to pull out the jammed paper gently by hand.
2
If
REV
does not clear the jam, slowly toggle the shredder’s power
switch back and forth between
ON/AUTO
and
REV
. Rapid switching
may damage the shredder.
If the shredder continues to jam:
1
Insert fewer sheets at a time.
2
Make sure that the shredder’s waste basket is not full. A full waste
basket can cause a paper jam.
Cleaning
Unplug the shredder from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean the
shredder’s casing with cloth and soapy water. Do not use scouring pow-
der, petroleum, or thinners.
