2. Make sure you do not exceed sheet count per pass (14 sheets max).
Insert paper as straight as possible into feed slot and release.
3. The shredder will start automatically when paper is fed into the
paper entry slot.
4. Ensure paper entry is straight so to avoid curling as it enters the
shredder.
5. Do not enter more than 14 sheets of 75gsm of paper at a time. If
shredding a heavier weight of paper the maximum sheet capacity
will be reduced, as this is based on paper thickness. The presence of
staples/paperclips will reduce the maximum sheet capacity. Shred-
ding capacity is also affected by temperature and humidity.
6. Do not operate continuously for more than 5 minutes.
7. Prolonged shredding will cause the unit to overheat and shut
down. This is not a fault and indicates the unit has reached its
maximum temperature tolerance, turn the unit off at the power
supply and allow it to cool down for 60 minutes before resum-
ing normal operation.
8. If the amount of paper inserted is too much or is not fed in
straight then the shredding speed will slow or even stop. If
the paper starts to fold over itself, then this will increase the
thickness significantly and potentially cause a jam. If this hap-
pens stop shredding immediately and use the reverse func-
tion, then reinsert the paper using a straight paper path.
DO NOT HOLD A CD/DVD WITH YOUR FINGER
THROUGH THE CENTRE RING WHILE FEEDING IT
INTO THE SHREDDER AS SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.
9. To shred a credit card or CD – Insert one credit card at a time
into the middle of the feed slot.
10. Never feed more than one credit card or CD/DVD at a time.
Hold the CD/DVD by the edge and feed one at a time, releasing
when shredding begins. Shredder will stop when the entire disc
has been destroyed.
LED STATUS INDICATORS
• Power On:
The Green LED light indicates the shredder is “On”
and ready to operate when paper is inserted.
• Overheat:
The Red LED light indicates the shredder has shred
continuously beyond the maximum running time and over-
heating, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens,
switch the shredder Off for 45 minutes or longer before resum-
ing normal operation.
• Overload:
The Red LED light indicates when too much paper is
inserted. Use the “Reverse” mode to back up and reduce num-
ber of sheets.
• Door Open:
The Red LED light indicates the shredder basket
is not pushed in properly. Shredders with pull-out wastebas-
kets feature a safety power cut off upon bin removal. Make sure
the pull-out wastebasket is properly set back into place and the
green “Power On” indicator is lit.
MAINTENANCE
• Warning: Failure to properly maintain your shredder will void the
warranty.
• Oil the shredder blades every month with basic vegetable, cook-
ing oil or shredder oil. Follow oiling procedure below. It helps to
keep the shredder blades operating well over many years of use.
Oiling Procedure:
1. Turn off shredder.
2. Apply shredder oil across paper
entry.
3. Turn shredder in reverse mode
for 3~5 seconds.
NOTE: lubricating oil is not
included.
Caution:
• Do not spray or keep any aero-
sol products in or around
shredder.
• Do not use canned air on
shredder.
