paper, a CD/DVD disk or credit
card at once and will accept paper widths up to 220mm. When shredding small material like
envelopes or receipts, insert them through the middle of the feed opening.
Separate shredder for CD’s and credit cards:
This document shredder is equipped with a separate shredder for CDs/DVDs and credit cards.
CDs/DVDs are shredded into 4 pieces. Given that such materials always present the risk of
splinters, please keep your face at an acceptable distance when inserting CDs/DVDs. The
shredded material is then collected in a separate tray thereby facilitating its environmentally-
friendly disposal.
Paper Jams and overload protection:
GENIE 550 MXCD is equipped with a motor overload protection device. The normal short duty
cycle for continuous shredding at maximum capacity is 3 minutes. 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, eg. More than 3 minutes for computer paper and CD/DVD or credit card without
stopping.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity eg. inserting more than five (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 to allow shredder to cool down. 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
clear the feed opening of any remaining shredded pieces of paper, Keep fingers away from
feed opening to avoid harm.
With the Main Switch in the
AUTO
position and the feed opening clear, you are now ready to
resume normal shredding.
