Operating the Shredder
:
1. Prepare the paper to be shredded by removing paper clips and any other objects that
may jam in the feed slot.
However, please note the shredder can shred staples, though
for optimal performance, their removal is advised.
2. Only feed 6 sheets of 70g A4 paper at any one time.
3. Set the select switch on top of the shredder to REV, OFF or AUTO position for the
desired operation ( see Figure 2).
AUTO
: Activates the auto shred function, the shredder will start automatically when an item
is inserted into the paper feed slot and will stop once the paper has been shredded.
REV
: Reverses the shredding direction and backs items out of the shredder in the event of a
jam.
OFF
: This position is recommended when emptying the shredder bin or when the shredder
is not in use for a prolonged period of time.
Paper Jams:
The CC15M is equipped with a motor overload protection device; the normal short duty cycle
for continuous shredding a maximum capacity is 2 minutes on & 60 minutes off. The power
may terminate automatically in case of the following situations:
1. Operating the shredder at maximum capacity continuously for a prolonged period of
time, e.g. more than 2 minutes without stopping.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity e.g. inserting more than 6 sheets at one time, or if the
paper is not fed squarely into the feed slot.
Both of these 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 and wait at least 60 minutes for the overload
protection to reset. 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.
3. With the switch in the AUTO position and the feed slot clear, you are now ready to
resume normal shredding.
If the shredder overheated, it will automatically shut down and will restart again after 60
minutes.
Clearing the Cutter Heads
If fibrous paper is being shredded the cutters may become clogged. Move the switch
alternatively between AUTO and REV 2-3 times to clear any paper shreds attached to the
cutters.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SHREDDER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MANUALLY REMOVE
AN ITEM FROM THE PAPER ENTRY.
