Setup
- The AQ9100 shredder should be placed on a flat level surface.
- Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted in to the shredder cabinet and that it fits flush with the shredder cabinet.
- Plug the power cord into any standard 115-Volt AC outlet.
- After pressing the Power ON/OFF button, the ready LED should light up. You are now ready to start shredding.
Operating the AQ9100
With the electrical cord plugged in, the Power ON/OFF button pressed and the shredder wastebasket properly in place, the ready LED 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 Paper Table Lid should remain in the closed position.
For Manual Feed shredding, a maximum of 9 sheets at one pass or a single credit card is recommended. Exceeding the maximum 9 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.
For Auto Sheet Feed shredding, grasp the front edge of the Paper Table Lid and open fully as in Diagram. Staples and Paper Clips should be removed prior to insertion. Place up to 100 sheets of paper neatly stack into the paper tray as in Diagram. The feeding of the paper should begin immediately.
Electronic Features
- The ready LED lets you know the shredder is working and ready to shred.
- The overheated LED will light up when the motor temperature reached it maximum allowed temperature and shut off the power to the motor. When the motor cools down, the shredder will be ready to resume shredding.
- The overload LED will light up when the shredder has exceeded the maximum sheet capacity which is 9 sheets.
- The bin full LED will light up when the waste bin is full and should be emptied.
Sheet Capacity
On Manual Feed, the Royal AQ9100 will shred up to nine sheets and will accept
paper widths up to 8 3-4 inches. When shredding small material like credit
cards, envelops, or receipts, insert then through the middle of the feed
opening.
On Auto Sheet Feeding, the Royal AQ9100 will shred up to hundred sheets neatly
stack into the paper table.
Caution
- Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewelry, hair or other small items away from the feed opening to prevent injury.
- Keep the shredder turned off or unplugged when not in use for prolonged periods of time.
- The Royal AQ9100 will cut staples, small paper clips and credit cards; however, proper discretion is recommended.
- Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injury could result.
- When manually changing feed direction, pause for the motor to stop.
- Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or emptying the wastebasket.
- Empty wastebasket frequently.
- Never allow children to shred or play with or around a paper shredder or else serious injury could occur.
Paper Jams in Auto Sheet Feeding
If during the Auto Feed Function you receive a paper jam, press the reverse
button 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 the Panel 1.
Open as shown in Diagram.
If further access is required to remove the jam, open Panel 2 as shown in
Diagram, 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 Panel
1 and 2 are back in its original secured position.
In Case of a Manual Feed Minor Paper Jam
Press the reverse button 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 opening or serious harm could result.
