Always turn off and unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning, or emptying the
Empty the wastebasket frequently to avoid possible paper jams caused by shredded material being pulled back into the cutter assembly.

Setup:

The 1200x shredder should be placed on a flat level surface. Depending on the type of floor surface where the shredder is to be placed, casters have been included and can be installed easily. It is recommended that casters only be used if the shredder is being placed on a hard smooth surface.
Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted in the shredder and that it fits flush with the shredder cabinet.
Plug the power cord into any standard 115-volt AC outlet which shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
Place the ON / OFF switch in the ON The ready LED should light up. You are now ready to start shredding.

Operating the shredder:

With the electrical cord plugged in, place the ON / OFF switch in the ON position, shredder wastebasket properly in place, the Ready LED will light up. This means that the shredder is now ready for operation. 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.

The 1200x mode selection switch is located on the top of the shredder. Also located on top of the shredder is ready. Their purposes are:

When the switch is placed in the ON position, the shredding process will start when the paper is inserted into the feed opening and will continue until it has completely passed through the feed opening.
The reverse position is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which reverses the shredding process prior to a completed forward cycle, thus clearing the cutters. When switching from forward to reverse, always stop momentarily to prevent possible damage to the motor.
It is recommended to turn the shredder off when the shredder is not being used for a prolonged period of time.
When the ready LED is lit up it lets the user know that the wastebasket is inserted correctly and that the shredder is turned on and ready for use. If the ready LED does not light up, make sure that the plug is plugged in and the basket is inserted correctly.
When the overheated LED becomes luminated, turn OFF the shredder and allow the motor to cool down. The thermal overload will reset in approximately 30 minutes. When the power switch is turned ON and the overheat LED is turned OFF you are now able to resume shredding.

Shredder capacity:

The 1200x will shred up to twelve (12) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will accept paper widths up to 8 2/3″. When shredding small material like envelopes or credit card receipts, insert them in the middle of the feed opening.

Paper jams and motor overload situations:

The 1200x is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit. The 1200x will automatically terminate power case of the following abnormal situations:

Operating the shredder at the maximum twelve (12) sheets capacity continuously for a prolonged period of time.
Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than twelve (12) sheets of 20-lbs. paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.

Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic thermal motor overload protection circuit, which terminates the power to the shredder. A paper jam could cause the thermal motor overload protection to terminate AC power to the motor. Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition with the AC power turned on. If this occurs you should:

In case of a minor paper jam:

Place the switch in reverse and pull the remaining sheets of paper out of the feed opening. Remove the unshredded portion of paper from the top and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.

In case of a major paper jam:

Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 25 minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
Plugin the AC power cord and place the switch back into the ON If the paper was left inside the feed opening prior to the overload, place the switch in reverse 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. Clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
