Congratulations on the purchase of your KOBRA HYBRID
shredder, one of the latest generation of KOBRA products.
KOBRA HYBRID comes with a special innovative energy
management system storing energy during normal
document shredding and then releasing it (when LEDs
are off) so that some documents can be shredded
disconnecting the machine from the mains for maximum
energy savings and zero consumption in stand-by.
INSTALLATION
For appliances provided with mains plug use a socket outlet
which is easily accessible near the machine and provided
with a protective earthing connection.
Remove the machine from its packaging and place the
shredding unit on the bin as indicated in figure 1.
There is a transparent window on the front which allows you
to check the level of shredded paper inside so the operator
can empty the bin when it is full.
USING THE APPLIANCE
After plugging in the machine turn the switch "A" to the
position "FWD". The machine is ready to shred paper.
- Automatic START / STOP
Insert the paper to be shredded in the throat "C", the LED "D"
come on and the machine automatically starts shredding.
Centre credit cards to be shredded when you insert them
in order to activate button "B". The LED indicators switch off
automatically when the stored energy has been used and
the machine stops automatically.
- CENTRE BUTTON "B"
The centre button "B" allows you to turn the machine on
manually in case of light and fine paper which may fail to
activate the machine.
- PAPER JAMS.
The machine will jam if a quantity of paper in excess of the
cutting capacity is inserted.
