To commence shredding move the slider to the left. The ‘Shredder in operation’ icon lights up blue. You are now able to shred.
Insert paper to be shredded into the feed slot ‘e’.
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.
If the paper thickness is greater than the shredder’s capacity, the shredder will stop. Slide the switch to the ‘R’ position and reverse the jammed paper. If the paper is jammed to such an extent that it will not come out using the reverse function, slowly move the slider between the and .
Do not do this quickly as it can damage the shredder.
Remove some of the sheets from the paper stack and re-try. The shredder will automatically start and allow the paper to be shredded.

Warning Do NOT under any circumstances use any metal objects (scissors, letter openers etc.) in an attempt to clear the paper entry.
