Operation

1. Unpack the product.

2. Connect the shredder to mains supply.

3. Ensure the ON/OFF button on the back of the machine is in the ON position, which will illuminate the blue standby symbol .

4. To load the shredder, simply lift the loading door handle to open the loading door and insert documents. You can open the door further to 90 degrees for easier access if required. Load up to MAX sheets at a time into the feed chamber. Do not fill above the MAX level, this could damage the shredder.

5. The shredder will start the shredding cycle automatically ONLY after closing the loading door.
   If there is still paper in the AutoFeed chamber after first attempt, open and re-close the paper loading door a second time.
   Attention: If required you can now lock the loading door by entering a 4 digit code (see Locking the Paper Loading Door section).

6. If you only have a few sheets to shred, you can use the manual feed slot, provided the auto feed chamber is empty.

7. Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The shredder will detect the paper and start automatically.

8. If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 2 minutes without being used, the shredder will automatically turn back to sleep mode in order to save power.

9. The shredder will automatically ‘wake up’ from sleep mode when paper is inserted into the shred mouth or you open the loading door. There is no need to press the Auto button .

Locking the paper loading door

For additional security the paper loading door can be locked during the shredding of confidential material.

To lock shredder:

1. Place documents in tray. Close paper loading door.
2. Press any 4 digits. REMEMBER YOUR CODE! Shredder unlocks automatically when:
3. 4 digit code is re-entered.
4. Shredding is complete.
5. Shredder is inactive for 30 minutes (but documents remain in tray)

Bin full
The shredder will not function when the bin is full and the bin full symbol is illuminated.

• You should empty the bin.
• Pull open the bin slowly to empty.
• Push the empty bin back into place and press the auto button to resume shredding.
• In the 45X the shredder head will be lifted off when the bin is full and this will stop the shredder. Remove the head, empty the bin and place the head back on ensuring it is the correct way around to continue.
• The 600 or 750 sheet machines can be used with plastic bags (2020175B)

Over heating

• If the AutoFeed shredder is used continuously without pausing, it may overheat and the cool down indicator will flash red .
• Please allow the shredder to cool down. When the shredder is ready to be used the thermometer symbol will no longer illuminate.
• If the shredder needs to cool down while shredding, no action is needed. The shredder will automatically restart shredding paper once it has cooled down after periods of continuous use. All you need to do is ensure paper is loaded into the chamber and the bin is empty when the machine is cooling down.

Lubrication of the shredder
Only use Rexel Oil Sheets (2101948 & 2101949) to lubricate. ACCO Brands accepts no liability for product performance or safety when other types of lubricants are used on any part(s) of this machine. Rexel recommend using an oil sheet after the bin has been emptied three times (and every three bin emptying after this). Insert the oil sheet into the manual feed slot and NOT in the auto-feed chamber. Using an oil sheet in the auto-feed chamber will contaminate the feed rollers preventing the auto-feed mechanism shredding. Follow the maintenance instructions if the rollers become contaminated.

Maintenance

• The rollers on the auto-feed mechanism may become dirty over time, please wipe clean with a dry cloth to maintain maximum product performance.
• The auto-start infrared sensor, located in the paper feed entry-slot, can occasionally become covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine. Switch the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a cotton-swab.

Serviceable machines (for 300 sheet and above)
We recommend these machines are serviced every 6 to 12 months by a Rexel service engineer – see www.rexeleurope.com/support for enquiries about maintenance contracts.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

• At the end of its useful life, your product is considered to be WEEE. As such, it is important to note that WEEE is not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. It is to be collected separately such that it can be disassembled so its components and materials can be recycled, re-used, and recovered (burned for energy content in the production of electricity).
• Public collection points have been set up by municipalities for the collection of WEEE, free of charge to you.
• Please return your WEEE to the collection facility nearest your home or office.
• If you have difficulty locating a collection facility, the retailer that sold you the product should accept your WEEE.
• If you are no longer in contact with your retailer, please contact ACCO for assistance with this matter.
• Recycling of WEEE is geared toward protecting the environment, protecting human health, preserving raw materials, improving sustainable development, and ensuring a better supply of commodities in the European Union. This will be achieved by retrieving valuable secondary raw materials and reducing the disposal of waste. You can contribute to the success of these goals by returning your WEEE to a collection facility.
• Your product is marked with the WEEE symbol (wheelie bin with an X through it). This symbol is to inform you that the WEEE is not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste.
