OPERATION
FIGURE 2
I
AUTO / ON :
This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting paper into the
shred opening. Always feed the paper in as straight as possible. When the paper has
passed through, the shredder will automatically stop. (FIGURE 2)
O
OFF :
This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend that
you leave the shredder in the "Off" position whenever the shredder is unattended or not
in use. (FIGURE 2)
R
REV ( REVERSE ):
In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear the cutters
of paper that has not passed through. Never attempt to clear a jam by using the reverse
function until you have emptied the wastebasket. (FIGURE 2)
READY : The green LED light indicates the shredder in "On" and ready for use.
ShredSafe™ technology is an added safety feature incorporated in this
particular model. It is a new technology where the shredder is able to detect
forced entry and automatically cuts the power off, preventing further shredding.
To begin shredding, locate the switch on the unit and select the "Auto" mode (FIGURE 2). The Green
LED light indicates the shredder is "On" and ready to use. Press the designated "PUSH OPEN" area
on the handle of the cover to tilt open and expose the paper feed slot (FIGURE 3). The cover will
click into a preset position where the "SHREDDER STATUS" indication line must align
with the "READY" setting.

OPERATION
READY: The shredder is currently on STANDBY and ready to operate when paper is inserted. With the
feed slot now exposed, you can shred sheets of paper or 1 credit card per pass (FIGURE 5).
DISABLED: The safety feature has been activated. All power to the SHREDDER IS
CURRENTLY SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT OPERATE until the cover is returned to the
"READY" setting. The cover has been completely tilted beyond the safe position (FIGURE 5).
When shredding is completed, you can press the designated "PUSH CLOSE" area on the cover to tilt
shut the paper feed slot (FIGURE 4). It is recommended to have the paper feed slot closed when shredder
is not in use to prevent any objects from accidentally getting into the feed slot.
*Be sure to not tilt open the cover completely beyond the preset position, otherwise
the ShredSafe™ power cut off feature will be activated and the shredder will be
inoperable.
Shredding of any of the following materials is considered misuse and will completely
void the product warranty:
Never shred large paper clips, window or insulated envelopes, continuous forms,
newsprint, bound pages (in example: notepads, checkbooks, magazines, etc...),
transparencies, laminated documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard
materials or plastic (except Credit Cards).
This shredder will shred staples and small paperclips. It is recommended that you remove paper clips
whenever possible to extend the lifespan of your shredder.
Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically into the middle of the entry,
releasing when shredding begins. Never feed more than one credit card at a time.
DO NOT ACTIVATE REVERSE FUNCTION WHILE SHREDDING CREDIT CARDS.
Overfeeding the shredder: Shredding beyond the specified sheet capacity can result in extensive
damage to the shredder. Overfeeding will strain the machine and quickly wear and break the cutting
blades and internal components.
Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shred continuously beyond
the maximum running time and overheating, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch
the shredder Off for 30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
