Thermal Cut-off Feature
This shredder is not intended for continuous operation. This unit features a
thermal cut-off device that automatically shuts off the shredder if run for an
extended period of time. If this occurs, simply allow the shredder to cool.
Safety Lock Feature
This shredder is equipped with a safety lock feature. Should you want to
disable the shredder (safety lock on), turn the knob a quarter of a turn anti-
clockwise (until the circles are aligned)
(fig. D)

illuminate. To re-activate, align the two circles, push the dial in and turn
clockwise until you reach the unlocked icon. The ready lamp will now illuminate

Clearing Jams
If a paper jam occurs, switch the unit to the reverse position until the paper is
out of the throat. If a jam occurs with paper more than halfway through the
cutters momentarily switch into the REVERSE position until about 1/2" to 1" of
shredded paper reverses out. Tear off two or three sheets and switch into the
FORWARD position to clear the paper jam. In some cases, it may be necessary
to alternate between FORWARD and REVERSE positions several times to help
clear excess paper from the cutting area.
Forward and Reverse
Moving the switch to either of these positions will cause the unit to run in the
corresponding direction.
Off

On/Auto
Simply insert paper into the centre of the throat. Once your document has
activated the trigger switch, the unit will turn on automatically.
