Capacity of the document shredder

The C116-A shreds up to 7 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 70g). The paper width may comprise up to 22 cm. When shredding small paper sizes such as letters or credit card receipts, please insert them into the middle of the shredding slot.

Separate shredder for CD’s and credit cards

This document shredder is equipped with a separate shredder for CDs/DVDs and credit cards. CDs/DVDs are shredded into 4 pieces. Given that such materials always present the risk of splinters, please keep your face at an acceptable distance when inserting CDs/DVDs. The shredded material is then collected in a separate tray thereby facilitating its environmentally friendly disposal.

Protection against paper jams and overloading

The C116-A is equipped with a motor overload guard. The normal work cycle for the shredding operation takes 2 minutes with a maximum load, after which a prolonged break must be taken. Under the following conditions, the current feed to the unit’s motor is interrupted:

1. Continual operation of the document shredder with a maximum capacity for a prolonged period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
2. Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding more than 7 sheets of paper (70g) 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. Disconnect the mains plug from the AC socket and wait at least 60 minutes until the overload guard has reset. Now tear off the excess paper from the top of the shredder or remove it.
2. Reconnect the mains plug to the AC socket and set the switch to the REV position. Pull the remaining paper away from the shredding blades. Afterward, set the switch back to the AUTO position. If necessary, repeat this step.
3. With the switch in the AUTO position and the open feed slot, you may now continue the normal shredding process.
