WARNING

CAUTION: KEEP THIS DEVICE AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS! Place the paper shredder in an area less accessible to children.

AVOID GETTING LOOSE CLOTHING OR JEWELRY NEAR THE FEED SLOT.
AVOID GETTING HAIR NEAR THE FEED SLOT.
NEVER spray any aerosol-based products in or around the shredder.
NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals, or materials that have come into contact with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone, gasoline) in the shredder basket. NEVER use any petroleum–based or flammable oils or lubricants in or around the machine, as some oils can combust causing serious injury. Lubricants specifically designed for shredders are acceptable.
NEVER place the shredder near water or any heat source. Avoid direct contact with water.

STOP USE IMMEDIATELY IF:

1. The shredder blades become jammed with paper.

How to use your shredder

Setup Instructions:

1. Connect the power cord to any standard 120 volt AC outlet. For pluggable equipment, the socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
2. Slide the power switch to the ON position.
3. Insert paper to activate.

Setup Cautions:

1. All shredders have very sharp, exposed blades on the underside. Please use care when mounting the shredder on to the wastebasket.
2. Make sure power cord is not damaged in any way and that the outlet is properly functioning.
3. Never attempt to shred sealed envelopes. Doing so may damage the shredder. Always remove and unfold envelope contents completely before attempting to shred. NEVER shred envelopes, labels or anything with glue or any sticky substance as this will lead to paper jams.
4. It is normal for residual lubricant in the motor to burn off during the first several extended uses of your shredder. Should you notice a slight burning odor or the presence of small wisps of smoke during the first several extended uses, you may continue using the shredder. If either symptom continues to occur after repeated use, please contact technical support for assistance.

helpful user tips

Clearing a Jam
If paper is not inserted properly into the shredder, or if the sheet capacity is exceeded, a jam may result. Move the switch to the REVERSE (<<) position, and remove the excess paper from the top and pull it out. TO PREVENT ANY INJURIES, DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS NEAR THE FEED OPENING. Once the paper is cleared, normal shredding operation can resume. If the shredder jams while in reverse, slide the switch to the On position and let shredder run to clear the jammed paper. If jam does not clear, slide the switch back and forth between the REV and On until the jam is cleared. If the jam cannot be cleared following this procedure, unplug the unit and carefully remove the jammed paper manually.
Overheating
If your shredder overheats, the unit will automatically shut off and all functions will cease in order to protect the motor. Turn off and unplug the shredder from the outlet. Allow enough time for the motor to cool down. The shredder will not resume normal function until the temperature of the motor cools down to a safe temperature. Once cool, plug the shredder back into the outlet, turn the unit back on and resume normal operation. Make sure to empty waste basket to avoid overloading the basket and damaging the
cutting mechanism.
Bin Full Function
Some shredders are equipped with a mechanical or optical Bin Full sensor. When the basket becomes full, the shredder will cease operation. Empty basket to resume operation.
Emptying Basket
Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning it, moving it, or emptying the wastebasket. Always keep wastebasket emptied so that the shredder’s output is not impeded. Never let the wastebasket get full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up into the shredder and cause jams.
Staples and Paperclips
Our shredders are designed primarily to shred paper, credit cards, CD’s or DVD’s (as indicated). You should remove small paper clips and staples whenever possible to prolong the life of the unit. You should not shred commercial staples, large paper clips or binder clips.

How to maintain your shredder

Lubricate Blades Regularly

• Only use lubricants specifically designed for your shredder, such as shredder lubricant or shredder lubricant sheets.
• NEVER use spray lubricants.
• Follow directions on the shredder lubricant product package.
• Do not touch the cutting surface.
• Continue to recycle waste paper in a normal manner.

When Using Shredder Lubricant Sheets
Never tear or open a shredder lubricant sheet. Please, empty waste basket prior to use. Shred one shredder lubricant sheet by feeding sheet in the direction on the arrows, directly into the paper feed entrance as per the instructions that came with your shredder. After shredding the lubricant sheet completely, run the shredder in reverse for 10 seconds for optimal performance. Align the first lubricant sheet to the left o the shredder
throat. The next time you use a shredder lubricant sheet align the pouch to the right of the shredder throat. Continue to alternate between aligning the pouches to the left and right to ensure the entire cutting mechanism remains well lubricated. Re-lubricate your shredder by shredding a lubrication sheet after 30 minutes of shredding or a minimum of twice per month to maintain maximum performance.
