OPERATING FUNCTIONS (Figs. 1, 2 and 3):
1 = Mains switch (Emergency-stop) (fig. 1)
This switch turns the machine either on
(position „1“) or off (position „0“).
2 = „Cutting system forward“
pushbutton (fig. 2)
Pressing this button starts the cutting system.
Material can now be fed to the shredder.
3 = „Cutting system stop“
pushbutton (fig. 2)
Pressing this button switches the shredder
off, thereby halting the cutting system.
4 = „Cutting system reverse“
pushbutton (fig. 2)
Pressing this button starts the cutting system
in reverse.
5 = Pilot lamp (fig. 2)
a) „ready“
Continously lights when the mains
switch (1) is operated.
b) „motor protection“
Flashes when the motor is overloaded.
While the motor is cooling down, the
machine cannot be switched on to
„forward“ run.
6 = Pilot lamp „paper jam“ (fig. 2)
Lights when too much paper is fed to the
cutters (see description „AUTOMATIC
RESPONSE IN CASE OF OVER-
LOADING“).
7 = Pilot lamp (fig. 2)
a) „door open“/„hopper open“
Lights when the door is not closed or
when the hopper is open. The machine
then switches off automatically and it
cannot be started as long as the door is
open or the hopper is open.
b) „collecting bag full“ (fig. 2)
Lights as soon as the collecting bag is full
and needs to be emptied. At the same
time the machine switches off
automatically.
8 = Vario-Speed Plus Key (fig. 2)
The machine’s cutting speed can be
increased in an infinitely adjustable fashion
by activating the plus key.
9 = Vario-Speed Minus Key (fig. 2)
The machine’s cutting speed can be reduced
in an infinitely adjustable fashion to allow for
increased cutting capacity by activating the
minus key.
10 = Vario-Speed Display (fig. 2)
Displays the manually selected, current
speed when the cutting system is running.
OPERATION
AUTOMATIC RESPONSE
IN CASE OF „OVERLOADING“:
In case you accidentally overload the shredder, it
will automatically alleviate the problem as follows:
1. The cutting system becomes jammed. The pilot
lamp (6) (fig. 2) lights up.
2. The cutting system runs briefly in reverse,
thereby freeing the material to be shredded.
3. The cutting system automatically switches back
to forward mode.
The machine repeats this process until all the
material has been shredded satisfactorily.
AUTOMATIC VARIO-SPEED FUNCTION:
The Vario-Speed optimizes the machine power in
the different working conditions:
- The operating speed is automatically increased
by up to 50% for small quantities of only a few
sheets.
- More power is required at the cutting system for
larger quantities of paper, and the variable speed
system reduces the working speed automatically
in favour of increased power.
MANUAL VARIO-SPEED FUNCTION:
In addition to the automatic variable speed function,
the operator can also manually select any desired,
infinitely adjustable working speed:
- Press the vario-speed plus key (8) (fig. 2), in
order to increase working speed.
- Press the vario-speed minus key (9) (fig. 2), in
order to decrease working speed, and to allow
for increased cutting capacity.
Current cutting speed is indicated at the vario-
speed display (10) (fig. 2).
EMPTYING THE COLLECTING BAG:
When the collecting bag is full, the machine turns
off automatically. The pilot lamp (7) (fig. 2) lights
up. Empty the collecting bag as follows:
- Open the door and take out the sliding frame
with the collecting bag.
- Remove the rubber band, take out the full bag
and dispose of contents.
- Put the empty bag from below through the
sliding frame and put the edges of the bag
approx. 10 cm over the frame outwardly.
- Fix the collecting bag with the rubber band at the
sliding frame.
- Move back the sliding frame with the collecting
bag and close door.
Note: The machine will only run with closed door!
11 = Light barrier (forward operation) (fig. 3)
The shredding operation is started as soon
as a sheet of paper passes through the feed
slot.
OPERATING THE MACHINE:
To start, switch on the unit by operating the main
switch (1) (fig. 1).
The pilot lamp marked „ready for operation“ (5), as
well as the red stop-button „S“ (3) (fig. 2) will light
to indicate that the machine is ready for operation.
The paper tray may not be used as a
step ladder or as a seat. Danger of
tipping over!
FEEDING CRUMPLED PAPER:
In order to avoid a reduction of user
safety by increasing the height of the
hopper side panels, and in order to
allow for filling the hopper while
standing on the floor, the height of the
hopper side panels is not in compliance
with EN 294:1992.
The deviation from EN 294:1992 is
identified with a yellow-black mark.
1. Fill the hopper with crumpled paper.
Note: The crumpled paper can be dropped
directly from the wastepaper basket into the
hopper of the machine. The apportioning wings
preceding the cutting mechanism ensure more
or less uniform distribution of the paper.
Attention: The wastepaper basket is no refuse
tin and should not be emptied into the machine
thoughtlessly - in no way can the machine
destroy bottles, pens, pencil sharpeners etc.
2. Press the pushbutton switch „forward“ (2) (fig.
2). The cutting system runs and begins to shred
the paper.
Note: Do not feed any smooth paper until the
crumpled paper is completely shredded.
3. To switch the machine off press the red stop-
button (3) (fig. 2).
FEEDING SMOOTH PAPER:
- Feed smooth paper through the opening at the
lower part of the hopper to the cutting system.
- Machine switches automatically to forward and
draws paper in.
- The machine switches off automatically after
shredding.
Never feed the shredder with a quantity
of paper exceeding the maximum
indicated in the technical details.
Should the machine be overfed, follow
the instructions under „AUTOMATIC
RESPONSE IN CASE OF
OVERLOADING“.
