12X PAPER SHREDDER
Setup:
1. The shredder and wastebasket housing come pre-assembled.
2. Slide the wastebasket fully into the wastebasket housing.
3. Plug the power cord into any standard 120-volt AC outlet.
4. Place the Power Slide Switch in the Auto position.
Operating the shredder:
With the power cord plugged in and the wastebasket in place, the green Ready light
will be on. If the wastebasket is not inserted fully into the cabinet, the Ready light
will not light up and the shredder will not work. Place the Power Switch in the Auto
position. The shredder is now ready for use. Remember to empty the wastebasket
frequently.
The model 12X Power Slide Switch is located on the top of the shredder. The main
switch has three (3) settings:
1. When Auto is selected, the shredding process is started automatically by inserting
the paper into the feed opening. The shredder will stop automatically when the
paper has completed its travel through the feed opening.
2. Off is used to terminate the AC power to the shredder. This mode is recommended
when the shredder is not being used for a prolonged period of time.
3. Rev is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which reverses the shredding
process prior to a completed cycle, thus clearing the cutters.
When manually changing direction, pause in the Off position long enough for the
motor to stop.
Shredder capacity:
The 12X will shred up to twelve (12) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will accept paper
widths up to 8 3/4". When shredding small material like envelopes or credit card
receipts, insert them in the middle of the feed opening.
Cautions:
1. Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewelry, hair or other small items away from
the feed opening to prevent injury.
2. Keep in the Off position when the shredder is not in use for prolonged periods of
time.
3. Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding. The 12X will cut
staples; however, it is not recommended.
4. Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injury could result.
5. When manually changing feed direction, pause in the Off position long enough for
the motor to stop.
6. Continuous shredding of computer paper is normally 1 or 2 sheets at a time. If
continuous shredding is required, it is recommended that the wastebasket be checked
and empted frequently to avoid paper jams or possible damage to the shredder.
7. Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or emptying the
wastebasket.
8. Empty wastebasket frequently.

12X PAPER SHREDDER
Paper jams and motor overload situations:
The 12X is equipped with an automatic motor reversal device and a motor overload
protection circuit. The shredder will either automatically reverse the paper out of the
shredder throat or power may terminate automatically in case of the following abnormal
situations:
1. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than twelve (12) sheets of
20-lbs. paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening
2. Operating the shredder at the maximum 12-sheet capacity continuously for a
prolonged period of time.
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic reversal of the
paper or the thermal motor overload protection, which terminates the power to the
shredder. A minor paper jam may cause the paper to feed in the opposite direction and
be ejected from the feed opening. A major 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. The automatic paper reverse feature should eject the minor paper jam from the feed
opening.
In case of a major paper:
1. Set the power switch to the Off position or unplug the power cord from the AC
outlet and wait at least 30 minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out as you place the power switch
in the Rev position. Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or
serious harm could result.
3. Set the power switch back to the Auto position.
4. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
