Set-Up
For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head (6) is in the correct position
on the cabinet (2) and used with supplied basket (3).
Position shredder head over cabinet. Place shredder head on top of cabinet as shown in
Figure A
.
Firmly push down on four corners of shredder head to "lock" shredder head into position.

.
Note:
To disassemble, pull out basket, hold cabinet down by placing foot on bottom shelf, and
firmly pull up on shredder head.
Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an
automatic-start sensor (8)
. This means that
when the control switch (9) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will start running when you
put paper into it and stop a few seconds after the paper has passed through. Because the sensor
cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects, this feature can also be a hazard,
especially to children and pets. To avoid accidents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are
finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be used for an extended period.
To shred
Press control switch (9) to automatic [I] position. Green ready light (4) should turn on.
PAPER
Feed paper straight into entry (1), releasing when shredder begins shredding; see
Product Profile
for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
Shred no more than 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off for 40
minutes to cool down.
Press control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped.
CDs, or DVDs
Slide safety cover (12) to the front to expose the CD entry (11).
Hold CD or DVD at the edge and feed one at a time, straight into entry (11) releasing when
shredding begins. Shredder will stop when item has passed through entry. CDs and DVDs will be
shredded into small particles.
Slide cover (12) to the back when done shredding media.
CAUTION: Do not hold CD or DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding into shredder.
In case of a paper
jam
, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified
capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full. Then:
1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of shredder.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and attempt to
continue shredding operation.
3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and automatic [I]
positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.
If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder; remove the
wastebasket from cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below the cutting cylinders;
empty the wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing procedure.
