IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read these instructions carefully and retain them for future use. If this product is passed to a third party, then these instructions must be included. When using electrical devices, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:
Do not shred:
- 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 petrol) in the shredder basket.
- A mains outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible. Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.
- Do not use the shredder if the main 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.
- Remove binding from the checkbook or notepad before shredding.
WARNING
- Bin Full: The wastebasket will become full around 6~ 7 shredding passes (12 sheets per pass) of use. Empty the wastebasket when you see shredded materials fill the window to prevent paper jams.
- Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded materials being pulled back up into the shredder and cause jams.
WARNING
- Overfeeding the shredder: Make sure you do not exceed the max. sheet count per pass (12 sheets). Insert paper as straight as possible into feed slot and release.
- Shredding beyond the specified sheet capacity can result in extensive damage to the shredder. Overfeeding will strain the machine and quickly wear and break the cutting blades and internal components.
WARNING
- No trash bag: If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it. This may cause the shredder not to operate properly.

Before First Use
- Check for transport damages.
- Before connecting the product to the power supply, check that the power supply voltage and current rating correspond with the power supply details shown on the product rating label.
Risk of suffocation!
Keep any packaging materials away from children – these materials are a
potential source of danger, e.g. suffocation.
Installation
- This model includes a built-in safety interlock mechanism, which requires the shredder to be correctly mounted onto the included wastebasket. The shredder will not operate unless it is properly mounted as pictured.
- A mains outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
- Connect the mains cord to any standard 220-240 V~ outlet.
CAUTION
Shredders may have very sharp exposed blades on the underside. Use care when
mounting the shredder on the wastebasket.
- Carefully lift and remove the shredder head from the wastebasket.
- Gently place the shredder head onto the wastebasket.
- Make sure the shredder head is correctly mounted.
Operation
Control Switch
Using the switch located on the unit, select one of the following settings by sliding the switch either left or right.
- Auto: This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting paper into the feed slot. Always feed the paper in as straight as possible. When the paper has passed through, the shredder will automatically stop.
- Off: This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend that you leave the shredder in the “Off” position whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.
- Reverse: In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear the cutters of paper that did not pass through. Never attempt to clear a jam by using the reverse function until you have emptied the wastebasket.
- Forward: The forward setting can also be used to help clear the cutters in the event of a paper jam. This allows you to manually activate the shredder to cutting mode.
Auto Reverse Technology
When the shredder detects over-capacity shredding, the motor will
immediately stop and reject paper before actual shredding begins.
Paper / Credit Card Entry:
- Make sure you do not exceed the max. sheet count per pass (12 sheets). Insert paper as straight as possible into feed slot and release.
- Insert one credit card at a time into the middle of the feed slot.
LED Status Indicators:
- Misaligned: Mount the shredder securely to the rim of the wastebasket.
- Overload: The Red LED light indicates when too much paper is inserted. Use “Reverse” mode to back up, and reduce the number of sheets.
- Overheat: The Red LED light indicates the shredder has shredded continuously beyond the maximum run time and overheated, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder off for 30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
- Power On: The Green LED light indicates the shredder is “On” and ready to operate when the paper is inserted.
NOTICE
- Always turn off and unplug the shredder when not in use.
- This shredder will shred staples and small paper clips. It is recommended that you remove paper clips whenever possible to extend the lifespan of your shredder.
- Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically into the middle of the feed slot, releasing them when shredding begins. Never feed more than one credit card at a time.
Maintenance

Failure to properly maintain your shredder will void the warranty.
