Operating elements
The sliding switch (AUTO / FWD / REV) on the device has the following
functions.
AUTO position: the device is ready for operation.
The device has a microswitch: shredding starts as soon as paper in inserted in the in-
feed slot.
FWD position: the cutting unit runs foreward. The device is ready for operation.
REV position: the cutting unit runs in reverse. To hold the rest of the paper back, you
can push the sliding switch in the REV position. The cutting unit runs backwards and
pushes the paper back.
Materials suitable for destruction
Only use the PS 315.7 / 307.4C paper shredder to shred paper. The paper must be
dry and must correspond to the specifications listed in the technical data. Shredding
other materials can lead to injuries (for example, if solid material splinters) or damage
to the device (destruction of the cutting unit, etc.). Do not shred endless paper docu-
ments with this device. Remove all paper clips and staples before feeding paper into
the device.
Starting up
- Take the device carefully out of the packaging and place it on the paper collection
basket. The bulge in the paper collection basket must point to the front. The device
can only be operated when it has been put properly in place (contact switch).
- Plug the mains cable into the socket. Please observe the energy supply specifications
on the back of the device in your safety measures.
- The socket and the mains connection of the device must be freely accessible for
safety reasons so that the power supply can be disconnected in emergencies.
Paper supply
- Switch the device on with the sliding switch (AUTO position).
- Feed the paper to the cutting unit through the infeed slot.
- The device runs forwards and draws the paper in.
- The device switches off automatically after the shredding cycle. The motor carries on
running for another 2-3 seconds to remove the remaining paper from the cutting unit.
Caution: the sheet capacity given in the technical data may not be
exceeded as otherwise a paper jam will occur. Remember that the thickness of the
paper increases when it is folded and the recommended sheet capacity may be excee-
ded in this way. Reduce the quantity of paper fed if it is coarse fibre paper. it is recom-
mended not to fill the paper collection basket up to the cutting unit. This prevents cut
material becoming jammed in the cutting unit. Empty the paper collection basket at re-
gular intervals.
