Placing the shredder:
1.
Place the device on a smooth and flat surface.
2.
Ensure the device is positioned in a distance from heaters or other sources of heat.
3.
Where possible, avoid using extension cables or multi-way sockets. It is advisable to
connect the device directly to the wall socket using the power cable (in accordance with
the technical specifications).
4.
Safely position the shredder above the paper basket while ensuring your fingers do not get
caught between the top of the paper basket and the shredder attachment.
5.
Connect the mains plug to a conventional 220-240 volt AC power socket.
Important notice:
The device is fitted with a release mechanism which stops the device from functioning if it
is not being operated correctly with the paper basket provided. The unit must be flush with
the edge of the paper basket with the extensions locking into the device to enable it to
function. If this does not occur, re-position the device on the paper basket or place it the
other way around until you hear a faint click.
Operating the shredder:
A switch is located on the top of the device and can be set in three (3) positions.
1.
AUTO position:
the cutting process is automatically initiated as soon as paper, a CD/DVD or
credit card is inserted into the corresponding input slot. Please do not insert any CDs/DVDs
or credit cards into the input slot while shredding paper since the device is incapable of
shredding of paper at the same time as CDs/DVDs or credit cards. Once the chosen
material has fully passed through the cutting unit, the cutting process will stop
automatically.
2.
REV is used to fix paper blockages. This changes the cutting direction before an operating
cycle has ended enabling the blades to be released. If you realise that you have
unintentionally inserted too much paper, and the shredding process becomes noticeably
slower, set the switch to this position.
3.
The switch should be set to “OFF” if you wish to empty the paper basket, or do not intend
to use the device for an extended period. After doing so, unplug the device from the power
supply.
The device is only intended for personal use indoors and for a short operation period of a
maximum of 2 minutes. Do not use the shredder for commercial purposes or outdoors.
