SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
- Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet when not in use, before cleaning, moving, or emptying the waste basket.
- RISK OF FIRE. Never use any petroleum based or flammable oils or lubricants in or around the machine as some oils can combust causing serious injury.
- NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come into contact with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone and gasoline) in the shredder basket.
- Never shred metal credit cards, large paper clips, window or insulated envelopes, continuous forms, newsprint, bound pages (for example: notepads, checkbooks, magazines, etc…), transparencies, laminated documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard materials or plastic (except Credit Cards).
- A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
- Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up into the shredder and cause jams.
- Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.
- Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as doing so may expose you to sharp cutting blades and/or electricity and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
- Never try to clean or clear the shredder blade.
- Never shred beyond the specified sheet capacity. This may result in extensive damage to the machine.
INSTALLATION
- Make sure the basket door is securely closed shut. This shredder features a safety power cut off and will not operate if door is open. Shredders with pull-out wastebaskets will also cut power upon bin removal. The supplied wastebasket activates a safety switch, which allows the shredder to be operable.
- Attach all 4 coaster wheels to the bottom of the wastebasket. (Figure 1).
- A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
- Connect the power cord to any standard 220 volt AC outlet.
CAUTION:
Microcut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the underside. Do not
touch. Unplug the shredder before clearing paper jams. Use care when mounting
the shredder on the wastebasket.
OPERATION
• Main power switch (Figure 2). The main power switch must be “ON” to operate.
In an emergency, stop the shredder immediately and turn switch to “OFF” mode.
This completely disconnects all power to the machine.
Auto-On (Green). This setting automatically starts the shredder by loading
paper into the paper tray or inserting paper into the manual-feed slot. When
the paper has passed through, the shredder automatically stops.
Off. This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons,
we recommend you leave shredder in the OFF position when it is unattended or
not in use.
Reverse. In the unlikely event of a paper jam, use the reverse setting to
help clear the cutters op paper that did not pass through. IMPORTANT: never
attempt to clear a jam using the reverse function until you have emptied the
wastebasket.
Forward: the forward setting can also be used to help clear the cutter in the
event of paper jams. This allows you to manually activate the shredder into
cutting mode.
LED STATUS INDIC ATORS:
Overheat: Red LED light indicates the shredder has shredded continuously
beyond the maximum running time, has overheated, and will automatically shut
off. If this happens, switch the shredder to Off for 45 minutes or longer
before resuming normal operation.
Overload: red LED light indicates when too much paper is inserted. Use the
“Reverse” mode to back up and reduce number of sheets.
Door open: red LED light indicates the shredder basket or top lid is not
closed properly. Shredders with pullout wastebaskets feature a safety power
cut off upon bin removal. Make sure the pull-out wastebasket is properly set
back into place and the blue “Power On” indicator is lit
Bin Full: when basket is full, RED light will indicate it needs to be emptied.
While lit, the shredder will not operate until the wastebasket is cleared.
Feed error: RED light indicates paper in the paper tray cannot be grabbed by
the feeders. Open lid to make sure papers are unfolded and positioned
properly.
