Operation
1. Flip the power switch “ON” located on the right side of the shredder.
2. Auto Start/Auto Stop
When the START button is pushed, the “AUTO” LED will light. Insert paper / optical me-
dia to shred. The shredder will start and stop automatically when using this function. For
optical media, feed disc one at a time.
3. Manual Operation
If paper or optical media is too small for the shredder’s sensors to detect, shred it manu-
ally. Push the START button once more and the “MANUAL” LED will light. Insert paper/
optical media to be shredded. Three minutes after shredding, the cutter automatically
stops rotating.
4. Reverse Operation
Push the REV button and the “REV” LED will light and cutters will operate in reverse. If
too much paper / optical media is inserted at one time in standard modes, the shredder
will automatically operate in reverse. If this occurs, remove the inserted paper/optical
media and shred in smaller amounts. NOTE: The maximum amount of paper to be
shredded differs according to paper quality, humidity and voltage. If the shredder is to
be used continuously, do not insert more than half of the maximum capacity.
5. Full Sensor
If the wastebasket is full, the “FULL” LED will light and the cutter will stop automatically.
Open the door, remove and empty the waste bin. Replace the waste bin, close door,
and press START to resume shredding.
