OPERATION (AUTOMATIC)
Prepare paper to be shredded. Remove paper clips and make sure to feed no more than the recommended
sheet capacity at one time. It is advisable in order to calibrate the shredder’s cutting mechanism
to shred 4 individual sheets of paper for the rst few shredding cycles. This will allow the internal
lubrication to be equally redistributed to all the moving parts in the cutter assembly.
IMPORTANT!
SAFETY INTERLOCK SWITCH:
This shredder can ONLY be used with the supplied wastebasket for safety reasons. The wastebasket
and shredder have special built-in safety features designed to protect the user.
