Setup
1. Place the shredder securely on the top of the wastebasket.
2. Plug the power cord into any standard 230-240V
3. Place the Main Switch in the AUTO position
Operating the shredder
There are four operating modes:
1. When
AUTO
is selected, the shredding process is started
automatically by inserting the paper into the feed opening. The
shredder will stop automatically when the paper has completed its
travel through the feed opening.
2.
REV
is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which reverses
the shredding process prior to a completed cycle, thus clearing the
cutters.
3.
OFF
position is recommended when emptying the wastebasket or
when the shredder is not in use for a prolonged period of time.
4.
Clear
: In
AUTO
mode, press to clear jammed paper.
Shredder capacity
Cross-Cut Shredder X5 will shred 5 sheets at once and will accept
paper widths up to 220mm. When shredding small material like
envelopes or credit card receipts, insert them through the middle of the
feed opening.
Paper jams and overloads protection
Cross-Cut Shredder X5 is equipped with a motor overload
protection device, The normal short time shredding at maximum
capacity is 2 minutes on and at least 60 minutes off. The power
may terminate automatically in case of the following abnormal
situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum capacity continuously for a
prolonged period of time, e.g. More than 2 minutes without
stopping.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, e.g. Inserting more than 5
sheets at one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed
opening.
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the
automatic motor overload protection, which terminates the power
to the unit. If this occurs you should:
1. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 60
minutes for the overload protection to reset. Tear or cut off any
excess paper from the top of the shredder.
2. Plug the power cord back into the AC outlet and place the Switch in
REV
. Pull the remaining paper out of the cutters. Place the Switch
back to the Auto position if necessary.
3. With the Switch in the
AUTO
position and the feed opening clear,
you are now ready to resume normal shredding.
