OPERATION
This shredder will shred staples and small paper clips. It is recommended that you remove paper
clips whenever possible to extend the lifespan of your shredder.
Never shred large paper clips, window or insulated envelopes, continuous forms,
newsprint, transparencies, laminated documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives,
hard materials or plastic (except Credit Cards and CDs).
Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically into the middle of the entry,
releasing when shredding begins. Never feed more than one credit card at a time.
DO NOT ACTIVATE REVERSE FUNCTION WHILE SHREDDING CREDIT CARDS.
Overfeeding the shredder: Shredding beyond the specified sheet capacity can result in extensive
damage to the shredder. Overfeeding will strain the machine and quickly wear and break the cutting
blades and internal components.
Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shred continuously beyond
the maximum running time and overheating, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch
the shredder Off for 30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
DESTROYING CDs and DVDs
Lift safety cover to expose the dedicated feeding slot. Press the CD Destroyer/Reset button to activate
the shredding feature. Hold the disc by the edge and always feed one at a time into the slot. You may
need to gently push the disc down to engage the cutting blades. Release the button once the entire CD
has passed through and destroyed. Close cover when done shredding media.
CAUTION! Do not hold CD/DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding
into the shredder. Serious injury may occur.
MAINTENANCE
Warning: Failure to properly maintain your shredder will void the warranty.
Paper shredders require regular oil lubrication for optimal performance and extended lifespan. We
recommend you oil your shredder once a month. Your basic vegetable or cooking oil (nothing flammable
or petroleum based) can be drizzled onto a few sheets of paper and fed into the shredder.
DO NOT SPRAY OR KEEP ANY AEROSOL PRODUCTS IN OR AROUND THE SHREDDER.
DO NOT USE CANNED AIR. Be sure to periodically empty the wastebasket to avoid overloading
and damaging the cutting mechanism.
CLEANING:
• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SHREDDER BEFORE CLEANING!
• Only clean the shredder by carefully wiping the unit with a dry soft cloth or towel.
• Do not clean or immerse shredder in water. Having the unit wet may result in damage or malfunction
to the electrical components. If the shredder happens to get wet, be sure to completely dry the unit
immediately with a cloth or towel.
• Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious injury or damage to
the product.
