GENERAL SAFETY

When using electrical appliances, basic precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electrical shock and injury to persons including the following;
The shredder is only intended for private/domestic and small office use. Any other uses not recommended by the manufacturer may result in the warranty being void. Do not use the shredder to shred Film, plastic pouches, adhesive stickers, or any Plastics, as these may cause damage.

Remove the shredder from its packaging and check to make sure it is in good condition before using. Keep the packaging for storage and transportation.
This shredder is not intended for use by persons, including children, with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the shredder by a person responsible for their safety. Extreme caution is necessary when children or persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities may come into contact with the shredder when in use.
Do not let children play with parts of the packaging, such as plastic bags. Ensure the power supply to the socket into which the shredder is plugged, is in accordance with the rating label on the shredder and that the socket is earthed.
Do not use the shredder if the Power Cord is damaged. If the Power Cord is damaged it must be replaced by a recognized service agency or other qualified person. Always turn the power off before unplugging the shredder and make sure your hands are dry to prevent electric shock. Do not use outdoors. Always unplug the shredder when not in use.

Waste Bin Emptying

When you empty the waste bin, please make sure the shredder is switched off and unplugged.
If the waste bin gets too full, paper can easily become jammed in the blades, therefore please empty the waste bin after 10 A4 sheets have been shredded.

Shredder Setup
Remove the shredder from the outer carton and place the shredder head on top of the waste bin.

Shredder Capacity
The shredder will shred 5 sheets of A4 70gsm paper at once and will accept paper width up to 220mm. When shredding smaller items like envelopes or credit card receipts, insert them through the middle of the feed slot.
THIS SHREDDER DOES NOT SHRED CREDIT CARDS.
The paper sensor is located in the centre of the main feed slot. When paper is inserted the sensor starts the blades. Once the paper has gone through the shredder, the sensor will switch the blades off.

Duty Cycle
Small shredding machines have duty cycles because the motors are smaller and heat up quicker. If you shred paper continuously without allowing the motor to rest and cool down, the motor will overheat and trip the safety cut out switch, this stops the shredder from working. Once the motor has rested and cooled down, the Shredder will start working again.
This shredder has a Duty Cycle of 2 mins on and 30 mins off. This means that after shredding paper for 2 mins you need to stop and switch the shredder off for 30mins to allow the motor to rest and cool down. After the 30 min cooling down period you can resume shredding paper.

Operating the Shredder
Prepare the paper to be shredded by removing paper clips, staples and any other objects that may jam in the feed slot. Lenoxx XS-510 Home and Office
Shredder fig 1

Only feed 5 sheets of 70gsm A4 paper at any one time into the shredder.
If you are shredding A4 Sheets that are thicker than 70gms, you will need to reduce the number of sheets being shredded, otherwise it will cause a paper jam.
To start shredding ensure the switch is in the ON/AUTO position.

FWD: This switch allows you to clear the paper jam, together with the REV switch, which will then allow you to continue your shredding.

ON/AUTO : Activates the auto shred function, the shredder will start automatically when an item is inserted into the paper feed slot and will stop once the paper has been shredded.
OFF: This position is recommended when emptying the shredder bin or when the shredder is not in use for a prolonged period of time. Always remove the Plug from the mains power socket when empting the waste bin.
REV: If the paper jams before it is fully shredded, this switch allows you to clear the paper jam by reversing the paper back out from the shredder. It can also be used together with the FWD switch to clear any paper jammed within the blades.

Safety Switches

The shredder is equipped with both overload and overheat protection switches which means if you try to shred too many A4 70gms sheets at once or you run the shredder for more than 2mins, the motor will switch off.
In the event of too many sheets being shredded you need to remove the jammed paper.
Paper Jams

Move the switch to the REV position and the jammed paper should be pushed back out. Pull out the paper and move the Switch to the FWD position and any paper still left in the blade will be shredded. To ensure all the paper has been shredded move the switch between REV and FWD a few times.
In the event that reversing the jammed paper out does not work then you may need to manually remove the paper. In this case please ensure you move the switch to off then unplug the shredder from the mains socket.
Once the paper has been removed, plug the shredder back into the mains socket, move the switch between FWD and REV and any paper still jammed in the blades should be shredded.
Place the switch back to the ON/AUTO position and ensure that the feed slot is clear, you are now ready to resume normal shredding.

Tips: (To prevent paper jams)

Never shred more than 5 A4 70gms sheets at once.
When shredding paper, always leave a few seconds gap between the shredding of the last sheet/s and the shredding of the next sheet/s. This is to ensure that the previous sheet has been fully shredded and the blades are completely paper free.
Once you have finished shredding paper, move the switch between REV and FWD several times. This will clear any shredded paper still remaining in the blades and will ensure the shredder is clear and paper free ready for the next time you use it.
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SHREDDER BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO MANUALLY REMOVE AN ITEM FROM THE PAPER ENTRY.
TO REMOVE ANY JAMMED PAPER DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES INSERT METAL OBJECTS INTO THE ENTRY FEED SLOT OR THE BLADES,

Overheat:
If the shredder has over-heated because it has been used longer than the recommended 2 mins, you will need to switch off the machine, pull out the mains plug and wait at least 30 mins for the shredder motor to cool down.

Warning:
When you want to clean the shredder, please make sure you have switched off the shredder and removed the plug from its mains power socket.
Always use a dry non-abrasive soft cloth when cleaning the shredder. The shredder cover and waste bin are made from plastic; therefore, please do not use abrasive cleaners or solvent based liquids. Do not allow the shredder to come into contact with water at any time.
