Bin Full: The wastebasket will become full around 6-7 shredding passes (12 sheets per pass) of use. Empty the wastebasket when you see shredded materials fill the window to prevent paper jams.
Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded materials being pulled back up intD the shredder and cause jams.
Empty wastebasket when the window is filled
Overfeeding the shredder: Make sure you do not exceed the max. sheet count per pass (12 sheets). Insert paper as straight as possible into feed slot and release.
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.
No trash bag: If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it. This may cause the shredder not to operate properly.

Operation
1. Control Switch
Using the switch located on the unit, select one of the following settings by sliding the switch either left or right.
Auto: This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by
inserting paper into the feed slot. Always feed the paper in as straight as
possible. When the paper has passed through, the shredder will automatically
stop.
Off: This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety
reasons, we recommend that you leave the shredder in the “Off” position
whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.
Reverse: In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be
used to help clear the cutters of paper that did not pass through. Never
attempt to clear a jam by using the reverse function until you have emptied
the wastebasket.
Forward: The forward setting can also be used to help clear the cutters
in the event of a paper jam. This allows you to manually activate the shredder
to cutting mode.
Auto Reverse Technology
When the shredder detects over-capacity shrecding, the motor will immediately
stop and reject paper before actual shredding begins.
2. Paper / Credit Card Entry:
Make sure you do not exceed the max. sheet count per pass (12 sheets). Insert paper as straight as possible into feed slot and release.
Insert one credit card at a time into the middle of the feed slot.
3. LED Status Indicators:
- Misaligned: Mount the shredder securely to the rim of the wastebasket.
- Overload: The Red LED light indicates when too much paper is inserted. Use “Reverse” mode to back up, and reduce number of sheets.
