Setting up the product

1. The shredder attachment is equipped with a pull-out arm which can be used to fit the attachment on various sized waste bins.
2. When fitting it, pay attention that the attachment fits securely and that your fingers do not get jammed between the top edge of the waste bin and shredder.
   Risk of injury!
   Note: Thanks to the adjustable arm, you may also mount the document shredder on other round and rectangular waste baskets. The arm is located on the right side of the document shredder and is suitable for waste baskets with a width of 320 to 390 mm.
3. Connect the main plug to a standard 220-240 volt AC socket.

Starting the unit

This device is designed solely for private use in enclosed quarters and for brief operation not exceeding 2 minutes. Do not use the document shredder for commercial applications nor outdoors. Improper use poses risk of accidents.

The main switch has 3 positions. To start the device set the button into position "AUTO".

1. AUTO (ready to operate, Standby): The device is ready to operate after setting the sliding switch to "AUTO". The Power LED lights up green. The shredding process begins automatically when the paper or credit card to be shredded is fed into the insertion slot.
   The paper must be fed STRAIGHT into the insertion slot to prevent paper jamming. After the paper has been shredded by the cutting mechanism, the shredder switches off automatically and enters Standby mode. If the device does not switch off automatically, check whether the waste bin is full or there is still residual paper in the cutting mechanism.
   Only insert paper into the designated feed slots!
2. REV (reverse operation): "REV" make the cutting unit turn backward. With these function paper jams can be removed (please refer to chapter "Protection against paper jams and overloading").
3. OFF position is recommended when emptying the wastebasket or when the shredder is not in use for a prolonged period of time.

Capacity of the unit

The GENIE 260 S shreds up to 6 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 80 g) or 1 credit card The paper width may comprise up to 22 cm. When shredding small paper sizes or credit cards, please insert them into the middle of the shredding slot.
Please ensure that never more than the above-mentioned maximum quantity is inserted in the shredder. Otherwise the device may sustain damage.

Protection against paper jams and overloading

The GENIE 260 S is equipped with a motor overload guard. To protect the machine well, we suggest the user to operate it in this way: work 2 minutes then rest 30 minutes. Under the following conditions, the current feed to the unit's motor is interrupted:

• Continual operation of the document shredder with maximum capacity for a prolonged period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
• Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding more than 6 sheets of paper (80 g) in one operation or in the event the paper is not inserted length-wise into the feed slot.

Under the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic overload guard of the motor is triggered, whereupon the current feed to the device is interrupted. In such a case, please take the following steps:

1. Switch the main switch to OFF. Disconnect the main plug from the AC socket in order to avoid the risk of serious injuries and wait at least 30 minutes until the overload guard has reset. Now tear off excess paper from the top of the shredder or remove it.
2. Reconnect the main plug to the AC socket and switch to REV. Pull the remaining paper away from the shredding blades. If necessary, repeat this step.
