ROYAL 140MX PAPER SHREDDER
Setup:
1. The 140MX shredder should be placed on a flat level surface.
2. To install the casters, carefully lay the shredder on is back. Place the long post
of each caster inside the hole located in each corner on the bottom of the shredder.
Push each caster into place until you hear or fell it snap and lock in place. Place
the shredder in an upright position. Make sure that the shredder stands evenly
and that all four casters fit squarely on the floor.
3. Place the shredder head securely on top of the wastebasket.
4. Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted in to the shredder cabinet
and that it fits flush with the shredder cabinet.
5. Plug the power cord into any standard 115-volt AC outlet.
6. Place the rotary dial in the Auto position. The ready LED should light up. You
are now ready to start shredding.
Operating the Shredder:
With the electrical cord plugged in, the rotary dial switch in the Auto position and the
shredder wastebasket properly in place, the ready LED will light up. This means that
the shredder is now ready for operation. When the paper is inserted into the feed
opening, the shredding process will start automatically and stop when the paper has
completed its travel through the feed opening.
The Royal 140MX rotary dial is located on the top of the shredder. Also located on top
of the shredder is the ready LED. Their purpose of the rotary dial is:
1. When the rotary dial is in the Auto position, the shredding process will start
when paper is inserted into the feed opening and will continue until it has completely
passes through the feed opening.
2. The Reverse position on the rotary dial is used to assist in the removal of a
paper jam, which reverses the shredding process prior to a completed forward
cycle, thus clearing the cutters. When switching from Auto to Reverse, always
stop in the Off (O) position momentarily to prevent possible damage to the motor.
3. The Off (O) position is used to terminate the AC power to the shredder. It is
recommended to turn the shredder off when the shredder is not being used for
a prolonged period of time.
4. When the ready LED is lit it lets the user know that the wastebasket
is inserted correctly and that the shredder is turned on and ready for use. If the
ready LED does not light up, make sure that the plug is plugged in, the
basket is inserted correctly and the rotary dial is in the Auto position.
Shredder Capacity:
The Royal 140MX will shred up to fourteen (14) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will
accept paper widths up to 8 3/4". When shredding small material like envelopes, or
receipts, insert them through the middle of the feed opening. Credit Cards should be
inserted one at a time into the Credit Card slot for shredding. CDs and DVDs should
only be inserted into the CD slot for shredding. Shredding CDs and DVDs in the paper
feed opening will damage the cutter assembly.
Cautions:
1. Never allow children to shred or play with or around a paper shredder or
else serious injury could occur.
2. Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewelry, hair or other small items
away from the feed opening to prevent injury.
3. Keep the shredder turned off or unplugged when not in use for prolonged
periods of time.

4. The Royal 140MX will cut staples, small paper clips and credit cards; however,
proper discretion is recommended.
5. Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injur could result.
6. When manually changing feed direction, pause long enough for the motor to stop.
7. Continuous shredding of computer paper should not exceed 2 minutes. If
continuous use is required at the maximum sheet capacity (14 sheets), it
is recommend that shredding time should be 2 minutes on and 30 minutes
off to allow for proper cooling of the motor.
8. Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or emptying
the wastebasket.
9. Empty wastebasket frequently.
Paper Jams and Overload Protection:
The Royal 140MX is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit. The
140MX will automatically terminate power in case of the following abnormal situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum 14-sheet capacity continuously for a
prolonged period of time, eg. more than 2 minutes without stopping.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than fourteen (14) sheets
of 20-lbs. paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic thermal motor
overload protection circuit, which terminates the power to the shredder. A paper jam
could cause the thermal motor overload protection to terminate AC power to the motor.
Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition with the AC power turned on.
If this occurs you should:
In case of a minor paper jam:
1. Place the rotary dial in the Reverse position and pull the remaining sheets of
paper out of the feed opening. Remove the unshredded portion of paper from
the top and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening. Be sure to
keep fingers and any personal effects away from the throat of the feed
opening while the shredder cutters are in motion.
In case of a major paper jam:
1. Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 30 minutes
for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Plug in the AC power cord and place dial in the Auto position. If paper was
left inside the feed opening prior to the overload, place the rotary dial in the
Reverse position and grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out. Be
careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could
result. Clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
3. Place the dial in the Auto position. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
