Starting the document shredder:
Important note:
This device is designed solely for private use in enclosed quarters and for brief
operation not exceeding 2 minutes. Do not use the document shredder for
commercial applications nor outdoors. Improper use poses risk of accidents.
The main switch has 3 positions. To start the device set the button into position “
AUTO
”.
1.
AUTO
(automatic start): The shredding operation will start automatically once the
document to be shredded is inserted in the feed slot. The document shredder is set
to normal operation. Please only insert the paper EVENLY into the feed slot
otherwise a paper jam may result. After the paper has been fed into the shredding
slot, the document shredder will deactivate automatically.
Only insert paper into the designated feed slots!
2.
REV
(reverse operation): “REV” make the cutting unit turn backward. With these
function paper jams can be removed (please refer to chapter “Protection against
paper jams and overloading”).
3.
OFF
position is recommended when emptying the wastebasket or when the shredder
is not in use for a prolonged period of time.
Capacity of the document shredder:
The 106S shreds up to 6 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 80g). The paper width may comprise up to
21.8 cm. When shredding small paper sizes such as letters or credit card receipts, please
insert them into the middle of the shredding slot.
Please ensure that never more than the above-mentioned maximum quantity is
inserted in the shredder. Otherwise the device may sustain damage.
Protection against paper jams and overloading:
The 106S is equipped with a motor overload guard. To protect the machine well, we suggest
the user to operate it in this way: work 2 minutes then rest 60 minutes. Under the following
conditions, the current feed to the unit’s motor is interrupted:
1. Continual operation of the document shredder with maximum capacity for a prolonged
period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
2. Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding more than 6 sheets of paper (80g) in
one operation or in the event the paper is not inserted length-wise into the feed slot.
Under the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic overload guard of the motor is
triggered, whereupon the current feed to the device is interrupted. In such a case, please
take the following steps:
1. Disconnect the main plug from the AC socket in order to avoid the risk of serious injuries
and wait at least 60 minutes until the overload guard has reset. Now tear off excess
paper from the top of the shredder or remove it.
2. Reconnect the main plug to the AC socket and switch to REV. Pull the remaining paper
away from the shredding blades. If necessary, repeat this step.
