SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•
Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from
the AC outlet when not in use, before cleaning, moving, or emp-
tying the waste basket.
•
RISK OF FIRE. Never use any petroleum based or flammable oils
or lubricants in or around the machine as some oils can com-
bust causing serious injury.
•
NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have
come into contact with flammable chemicals (for example, nail
polish, acetone and gasoline) in the shredder basket.
•
Never shred metal credit cards, large paper clips, window or in-
sulated envelopes, continuous forms, newsprint, bound pages
(for example: notepads, checkbooks, magazines, etc...), transpar-
encies, laminated documents, cardboard, any items with adhe-
sives, hard materials or plastic (except Credit Cards).
•
A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily
accessible.
•
Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shred-
ded material being pulled back up into the shredder and cause
jams.
•
Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.
•
Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any
way.
•
Do not attempt to service this product yourself as doing so may
expose you to sharp cutting blades and/or electricity and will
void the manufacturer's warranty.
•
Never try to clean or clear the shredder blade.
•
Never shred beyond the specified sheet capacity. This may re-
sult in extensive damage to the machine.
INSTALLATION
•
Make sure the basket door is securely closed shut. This shredder
features a safety power cut off and will not operate if door is
open. Shredders with pull-out wastebaskets will also cut power
upon bin removal. The supplied wastebasket activates a safety
switch, which allows the shredder to be operable.
•
Attach all 4 coaster wheels to the bottom of the wastebasket.
(Figure 1).
2
•
A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily
accessible.
•
Connect the power cord to any standard 220 volt AC outlet.
CAUTION:
Microcut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the under-
side. Do not touch. Unplug the shredder before clearing paper jams.
Use care when mounting the shredder on the wastebasket.
OPERATION
•
Main power switch (Figure 2). The main power switch must be
"ON" to operate. In an emergency, stop the shredder immediate-
ly and turn switch to "OFF" mode. This completely disconnects
all power to the machine.
•
Auto-On (Green). This setting automatically starts the shredder
by loading paper into the paper tray or inserting paper into
the manual-feed slot. When the paper has passed through, the
shredder automatically stops.
•
Off. This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety
reasons, we recommend you leave shredder in the OFF position
when it is unattended or not in use.
•
Reverse. In the unlikely event of a paper jam, use the reverse set-
ting to help clear the cutters op paper that did not pass through.
IMPORTANT: never attempt to clear a jam using the reverse
function until you have emptied the wastebasket.
•
Forward: the forward setting can also be used to help clear the
cutter in the event of paper jams. This allows you to manually
activate the shredder into cutting mode.
LED STATUS INDIC ATORS:
•
Overheat: Red LED light indicates the shredder has shredded
continuously beyond the maximum running time, has over-
heated, and will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch
the shredder to Off for 45 minutes or longer before resuming
normal operation.
•
Overload: red LED light indicates when too much paper is in-
serted. Use the "Reverse" mode to back up and reduce number
of sheets.
•
Door open: red LED light indicates the shredder basket or top
lid is not closed properly. Shredders with pullout wastebaskets
feature a safety power cut off upon bin removal. Make sure the
pull-out wastebasket is properly set back into place and the
blue "Power On" indicator is lit
•
Bin Full: when basket is full, RED light will indicate it needs to be
emptied. While lit, the shredder will not operate until the waste-
basket is cleared.
•
Feed error: RED light indicates paper in the paper tray cannot
be grabbed by the feeders. Open lid to make sure papers are
unfolded and positioned properly.
FEATURES
•
Auto-Reverse Technology: when shredder detects over-capaci-
ty shredding, the motor will immediately stop and reject paper
before actual shredding begins.
