Black & Decker BD-AF7500 Manual

Device Overview

Setup

Optional castors are provided for product mobility. To attach, align each castor post (9) with a respective hole on the bottom of the unit. Push each castor down into the hole until it clicks into place. (Product will function without castors.)
Plug power cord into outlet. Turn master power switch (1) into the "On" position ("—"). This switch is located on the side of the unit.
Raise Auto Feed Tray (2) into the upright position until you hear it lock into place.
When green POWER light (3) is on and all red error lights are off, the shredder is ready for use.

Operation

Only one shredder slot can be used at a time. Attempting to use two slots at the same time will cause the shredder to stop and the red Over Load light to illuminate.

TO USE AUTO FEED, place a stack of up to 75 sheets of paper into the auto feed tray (2). The shredder will beep for 3-5 seconds as it senses the load in the tray. No further action is necessary.

warning Please note:

All paperclips and staples must be at the top of the paper (furthest away from the shredder opening).
Do not insert additional paper into the Auto Feed tray when it is already in use.

TO USE MANUAL FEED, insert up to 6 sheets of paper into the manual feed slot (4).

TO SHRED CDS/DVDS OR CREDIT CARDS, insert object into the front slot (5).

TO EMPTY BIN, turn the master power off ("O") using the master power switch (1) and remove the bin. Replace bin once empty and turn power switch to On ("—") to continue shredding.

TO USE MANUAL REVERSE OR FORWARD, hold the reverse or forward button (6) down for the shredder to continue shredding in the desired mode.

Changing between reverse and forward will result in a 2-3 second delay as the blades change direction.

To clear a paper jam, see Troubleshooting section.

Maintenance

Regular emptying of the bin is important to ensure the smooth operation of the cutting cylinders. The shredder will not operate when the bin is full. Regular oiling is also necessary for proper performance. It is recommended to use shredder oil every few weeks. Apply across shredder entry, then run a single sheet through. Shredder oil can be purchased by calling 1-800-297-5028.

Cleaning

Always unplug the shredder before cleaning!

Only clean the shredder by wiping the unit with a dry soft cloth or towel.
Do not clean or immerse shredder in water. Getting 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 soft cloth or towel. If shredder does get wet, it should be left unplugged for several hours.
Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious injury or damage to the shredder.
