Service Department: 888.270.6879
PRE-START UP PROCEDURE
 Familiarize yourself with all controls and buon locaons.
 Ensure that all guards and covers are in place.
 Ensure the area is clean.
 Check input area for debris, discarded tools, etc.
START UP
Plug power cable into installed receptacle. Turn key switch ON. Depress momentarily the FORWARD pushbuon.
Cuers will begin to rotate and the output conveyor will begin to run forward.
To stop machine at any me depress the red STOP pushbuon. For emergency situaons the STOP pushbuon
may be depressed at any me. For normal stop situaons, wait for input chute to empty itself of all shredded
material before depressing STOP buon.
Begin feeding drives one at a me by dropping them into the infeed slot. It is recommended that during the
familiarizing period the operator should proceed slowly. Aer several hours experience the operator may wish to
increase the speed and frequency at which they feed the drives. The operator will soon be able to judge the
eciency of the operaon and feed material accordingly. It is nearly inevitable that during this learning process
the machine will jam. A jam condion will automacally turn o the machine just as if the operator had
depressed the STOP buon. This is normal.
PRE-START UP PROCEDURE
HD models have 1.5” or 3/4” wide cuers. They can shred solid state drives, but not to a secure parcle size.
SSD models have 3/8” wide cuers. They cannot shred hard disc drives, which require much wider cuers.
HD-SSD models use two separate cuer heads to allow you to destroy both magnec hard drives as well as
electronic media in the same shredder. Use the HDD side for hard disc drives and the SSD side for solid state
drives, CD’s, ash drives, oppy discs, etc.
WARNING: It is extremely important that rotaonal hard drives are shred ONLY on the HDD side.
Shredding or aempng to use the SSD side will likely result in cuer damage and will void the
warranty. Only one feed slot can be used at a me.
