Warning icons:

The Icons, on top of the shredder, warn the user of the potential dangers if the shredder is used improperly.

Important information:

A few pieces of shredded paper may be found inside the shredder and the wastebasket. This is normal. AR HP shredders are tested at the factory to ensure quality.

Setup:

  1. The AF808 shredder should be placed on a flat level surface.
  2. Make sure that the wastebasket15 is completely inserted into the shredder cabinet and that it fits flush with the shredder cabinet.
  3. Plug the power cord, into any standard 115-volt AC outlet. We recommend that you do not plug your shredder into the same outlet as other electronic devices.
  4. Move the Power slide switch into the On position 8 the Ready LED 0should light up. You are now ready to start shredding.

Operation : With the electrical cord, 14 plugged in, the Power slide switch placed into the On position 8 the shredder wastebaskets are properly in place, and the Ready LEDO will light up. This means that the shredder is now ready for operation. It is recommended that when the auto sheet feed is not in use, the Auto-feed tray, should remain in the closed position. Manual feed shredding: A maximum of 8 sheets at one pass or a single credit card is recommended. Exceeding the maximum 8 sheets or multiple credit card insertions could result in unnecessary paper jams. When the paper is inserted into the feed opening, the shredding process will start automatically and stop when the paper has completed its travel through the feed opening. Auto sheet feed shredding: Grasp the front edge of the Auto feed tray and open it fully as in Diagram 1. Staples and paper clips should be removed prior to insertion. Place up to 80 sheets of neatly stacked paper into the paper tray as in Diagram2. The feeding of the paper should begin immediately. The duty cycle for auto feed is 10 min on / 40 min off.

Electronic Features:

  • The Ready LED 2 lets you know the shredder is working and ready to shred.
  • The Overload LED 3 will light up when the shredder has exceeded the maximum sheet capacity which is 8 sheets.
  • The Overheat LED 4 will light up when the motor temperature has reached its maximum allowed temperature and will shut off the power to the motor. When the motor cools down, the shredder will be ready to resume shredding.
  • The Bin full-LED5will light up when the waste bin is full and should be emptied.

Sheet capacity:

On the manual feed, the AF808 will shred up to eight (8) sheets and will accept paper widths up to 8 3/4 inches. When shredding small materials like credit cards, envelopes, or receipts, insert them through the middle of the feed opening. On auto sheet feeding, the AF808 will shred up to eighty (80) sheets of paper neatly stacked into the Auto-feed tray 11.

Paper jams in auto sheet feeding:

If during the auto-feed function you receive a paper jam, place the Power slide switch into the Reverse position 0 and remove the jam. If the papers have traveled further into the feed rollers and cutters, open Panel 1 by moving both access levers inward and lifting Panel 1. Open as shown in Diagram 3.
If further access is required to remove the jam, open Panel 2 as shown in Diagram 4 allowing access to the cutter assembly.
Always be very careful when approaching the cutter blades. They are very sharp and could harm you if mishandled. After the jam has been removed be sure Panels 1 and 2 are back in their original secured position.

Minor paper jam in manual sheet feeding:
Place the Power slide switch into the Reverse position (6) and pull the remaining sheets of paper out of the feed opening. Remove the unshredded papers from the top and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening. Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could result.
Major paper jam in manual sheet feeding:

  • Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 40 minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
  • Plug in the AC power cord and place the Power slide switch into the Reverse position 6 and grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out. Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could result.
