DA-81608
This device is solely intended to shred/destroy a maximum of 10 (unstapled) sheets of paper per operation. Any other use is deemed incorrect use and thus will invalidate the extended warranty and endanger your safety. The device cannot shred laminated paper or plastic sleeves and will be irreparably damaged if used in this way.
Safety precautions:
Warning:
-
Read through these operating instructions before starting to use the device and keep them safe for later consultation.
-
To avoid injury, keep long and/or lightweight objects, such as clothing (scarves, ties, etc.), jewellery (necklaces, bracelets, etc.) as well as long hair away from the opening where paper is inserted.
-
If the device is not going to be used for an extended period, switch it off entirely and unplug the power socket.
-
Do not insert hands or fingers into the input slot since this may cause serious injuries.
-
Avoid all contact with liquids and do not spray any flammable liquids, compressed air or gases into or onto the device as these could easily ignite.
-
Unplug or switch off the device before moving, cleaning or emptying it.
-
Immediately switch off the device in the event of damage or improper functioning and unplug the power socket. Get the device checked by a specialist dealer or customer service.
-
The device must not be operated using a damaged power cable.
-
Empty the collecting container regularly.
-
Do not leave the shredder unattended, especially if there are children or animals nearby.
The device is not a toy – ensure it is out of the reach of children and animals. -
The device is only suitable for use indoors.
-
Keep the device as close as possible to the source of power in case of emergencies. If possible, do not use an extension cable.
-
This device was designed to shred paper up to DIN A4 size (80g/m²). Larger sheets of paper must be folded or cut until they are A4-sized or smaller.
-
To avoid overloading, ensure that you do not exceed the maximum number of sheets per operation.
-
Do not insert any plastic covers or metal strips into the cutting unit since such materials may damage the blades.
-
Remove all paper clips and staples before inserting the paper.
Placing the shredder:
- Place the device on a smooth and flat surface.
- Ensure the device is positioned in a distance from heaters or other sources of heat.
- Where possible, avoid using extension cables or multi-way sockets. It is advisable to connect the device directly to the wall socket using the power cable (in accordance with the technical specifications).
- Safely position the shredder above the paper basket while ensuring your fingers do not get caught between the top of the paper basket and the shredder attachment.
- Connect the mains plug to a conventional 220-240 volt AC power socket.
Important notice: The device is fitted with a release mechanism that stops the device from functioning if it is not being operated correctly with the paper basket provided. The unit must be flush with the edge of the paper basket with the extensions locking into the device to enable it to function. If this does not occur, re-position the device on the paper basket or place it the other way around until you hear a faint click.
Operating the shredder:
A switch is located on the top of the device and can be set in three (3) positions.
- AUTO position: the cutting process is automatically initiated as soon as paper, a CD/DVD or credit card is inserted into the corresponding input slot. Please do not insert any CDs/DVDs or credit cards into the input slot while shredding paper since the device is incapable of shredding of paper at the same time as CDs/DVDs or credit cards. Once the chosen material has fully passed through the cutting unit, the cutting process will stop automatically.
- REV is used to fix paper blockages. This changes the cutting direction before an operating cycle has ended enabling the blades to be released. If you realize that you have unintentionally inserted too much paper, and the shredding process becomes noticeably slower, set the switch to this position.
- The switch should be set to “OFF” if you wish to empty the paper basket, or do not intend to use the device for an extended period. After doing so, unplug the device from the power supply.
The device is only intended for personal use indoors and for a short operation period of a maximum of 2 minutes. Do not use the shredder for commercial purposes or outdoors.
Shredder capacity:
The 91608 is capable of shredding up to 10 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 80g/m²) at
once. Paper width may not exceed 22cm. When shredding small pieces of paper,
such as envelopes or credit card receipts, the paper should be inserted in the
middle of the opening. Please ensure that you never insert more than the
stated maximum quantity into the cutting unit as this may damage the device.
Separate cutting unit for CDs and credit cards:
This shredder is fitted with a separate cutting unit for CDs/DVDs and credit
cards. CDs/DVDs are cut into 3 sections. Keep your face at a suitable distance
from the device when inserting CDs/DVDs since these materials are at risk of
splitting. The shredded material is collected in a separate container which
will help you dispose of the waste in an environmentally-friendly manner.
How to operate:
Set the switch on the front side to “AUTO”. The device will then be ready to
operate.
Shredding paper
Insert a maximum of 10 sheets of paper (80g/m²) in portrait orientation into
the input slot. The paper will be recognized by the sensors, the cutting unit
will start and the paper will be automatically drawn in. The operation will
finish once there is no more paper in the cutting unit.
Overloading:
If you insert too much paper, the cutting unit will stop. In this event, set
the switch to “REV” in order to remove the paper. Reduce the number of sheets
and then try again.
Overheating:
If you exceed the indicated maximum operating time of 2 minutes, there is a
possibility of the motor overheating. In this event, the cutting unit will
stop. The drive will be automatically disconnected from the power and will
restart on its own once the motor has cooled down sufficiently. You should set
the switch to the “OFF” position, and let the device cool down for an
appropriate length of time. The maximum continuous operation time of 2
minutes can only be reached with a sufficiently cool device. Cooling the
device down sufficiently to operate it again for 2 minutes takes around 60
minutes.
Removal of leftover paper:
Set the switch to “OFF” and unplug the power socket. Remove the shredding
attachment, and then you will be able to take out any scraps of paper that
have become caught in the cutting unit. The blades are very sharp so you
should proceed with extra caution! Place the shredder attachment back on top,
plug in the power socket and turn the device on again. You will then be able
to start using the device again.
Turning off:
Set the switch to “OFF” in order to turn the device off entirely.
