Product Usage Instructions

1. Remove the shredder from the packaging and place the shredder head on top of the bin.

To start shredding, move the slider on the indicator panel to the left. The “Shredder in operation” icon will light up blue.

If the paper thickness exceeds the shredder’s capacity and causes a jam, slide the switch to the ‘R’ position and use the reverse function to clear the jammed paper.

Note: If the paper is severely jammed, slowly move the slider between the forward and reverse positions to clear it. Do not do this quickly to avoid damaging the shredder.

If necessary, remove some sheets from the paper stack and re-try shredding. The shredder will automatically start again and allow the paper to be shredded.
