Operation

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

3. To commence shredding press and release the button. The flashing icon changes to a solid blue light. You are now able to shred.

4. Insert paper to be shredded into the feed slot ‘e’.
   While paper is being shredded the blue shredder in operation icon will remain illuminated.
   Note: Make sure the paper to be inserted is neatly stacked.
   If the paper thickness is within the shredder’s capacity, the motor will start and your documents will be shredded. The cutters will stop once the shredding process is complete.

5. If the paper thickness is greater than the shredder’s capacity the auto reverse icon will flash red **** and the motor will run in reverse.
