INSIGNIA NS-PS06CC/ NS-PS06CC-C Cross-Cut Paper Shredder User Guide

Before using your new product, please read these instructions to prevent any damage.

Important safety instructions

1. Read these instructions.

2. Keep these instructions.

3. Heed all warnings.

4. Follow all instructions.

5. Keep out of reach of children and pets.

6. Do not use this unit near water.

7. Clean only with dry cloth. The housing can be cleaned with a cloth
   dampened with mild soap and water, then dried thoroughly.

8. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug. A polarized
   plug has two blades with one wider than the other. The wide blade is
   provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your
   outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

9. Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly
   at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from
   the apparatus.

10. The wall plug is the disconnecting device. The plug must remain
    readily operable.

11. RISK OF FIRE. Never use any petroleum based or flammable oils or
    lubricants in or around the machine as some oils can combust causing
    serious injury.

12. NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come
    into contact with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish,
    acetone, gasoline) in the shredder basket.

13. Never shred plastic (except credit cards), any hard materials,
    continuous forms, newsprint, or anything with adhesives including
    labels and envelopes.

14. Do not activate the reverse function while shredding credit cards.

15. Plug the shredder into a nearby, easily accessible power outlet.

16. Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC
    outlet before cleaning it, moving it, or emptying the wastebasket.

17. Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded
    material being pulled back up into the shredder and cause jams.

18. Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.

19. Keep the wastebasket emptied so that the shredder output is not
    impeded.

20. Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.

21. Do not attempt to service this product yourself as doing so may
    expose you to sharp cutting blades and/or electricity and will void the
    manufacturers warranty.

22. Never try to clean the shredder blade.

23. Never shred beyond the specified sheet capacity. May result in
    extensive damage to the machine.

24. Operate the shredder from the power source specified on the label. If
    you are unsure about the power source, contact an electrician.

25. If an extension cord is used, make sure that the total amp rating of the
    products plugged into the extension cord do not exceed the
    extension cord amp rating and that the total of all products plugged
    into the wall out do not exceed 15 amps.

Shredder details

Setting up the shredder

Warning
Crosscut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the
underside. Use care when mounting the shredder on the
wastebasket.

Caution
The shredder should not be plugged in during assembly.

Note
The following illustrations are for information purposes only.
Your actual shredder may look somewhat different than the
shredder shown.

To set up the shredder:

1. Position the shredder head over the basket.
2. Place the shredder head on the basket so that it solidly rests on the
   basket edges.

Note
Always make sure that these two labels are aligned on the same
side of the shredder when you place the shredder head onto the
basket. This shredder has a safety interlock which prevents it
from operating unless the shredder head is placed on the basket
correctly.

Using the shredder

Note
Prepare paper to be shredded by removing staples and paper
clips from the paper. Make sure that each batch of paper does
not exceed the recommended capacity of six sheets.

To use the shredder:

Caution
Do not overfeed the shredder: Shredding beyond the
specified sheet capacity can result in extensive damage to the
shredder. Overfeeding will strain the machine and quickly wear
and break the cutting blades and internal components.

1. Plug in the power cord.

2. To begin shredding, locate the switch on the top of the shredder and
   select the On/Auto mode. The green power LED indicates the shredder
   is on and ready to use.

3. Slide the paper or credit card into the feed opening. The shredder
   automatically starts after the paper or credit card has been inserted.
   The shredder stops automatically when it has finished shredding.
   Note
   Prepare paper to be shredded by removing staples and paper
   clips from the paper. Make sure that each batch of paper does
   not exceed the recommended capacity of six sheets.
   Caution
   Do not overfeed the shredder: Shredding beyond the
   specified sheet capacity can result in extensive damage to the
   shredder. Overfeeding will strain the machine and quickly wear
   and break the cutting blades and internal components.
   Caution
   Never shred paper clips, window or insulated envelopes,
   continuous forms, newsprint, transparencies, laminated
   documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard
   materials, or plastic (except credit cards).

Maintaining

Caution
Failure to properly maintain your shredder will void the
warranty.

• Crosscut shredders require regular oil lubrication for optimal performance
  and extended lifespan. We recommend you oil your shredder once a
  month. To lubricate your shredder, drizzle some basic vegetable or
  cooking oil (nothing flammable or petroleum based) onto a few sheets of
  paper and feed it into the shredder.

• Do not spray or keep any aerosol products in or around shredder.

• DO NOT USE CANNED AIR ON THE SHREDDER.

• Be sure to periodically empty the wastebasket to avoid overloading and
  damaging the cutting mechanism.

To clean the shredder:

• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SHREDDER BEFORE CLEANING!

• Only clean the shredder by carefully wiping the unit with a soft cloth or
  towel moistened with mild soap and water. Dry the unit thoroughly.

• Do not clean or immerse the shredder in water. Having the unit wet may
  result in damage or malfunction to the electrical components. If the
  shredder happens to get wet, be sure to completely dry the unit
  immediately with a cloth or towel.

• Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in
  serious injury or damage to the product.

Troubleshooting
If there is a problem with your shredder, check below for the symptoms
and steps to resolve. If you continue to have problems, contact customer
support at our Service Center. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR BY OPENING
THE SHREDDER HEAD. This will completely void the product warranty.

  Symptom

|

  Possible Solutions

---|---
 The shredder does not work
at all.|

•   Make sure that the shredder is plugged in and that the outlet it is
  plugged into is in good working order.

• The shredder may overheat with extended use. In the event that
  the shredder has shred continuously beyond the maximum
  running time and has overheated, the shredder will automatically
  shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder off for 30 minutes or
  longer before resuming normal operation.

• If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, remove it. The bag
  may be the cause of the shredder not operating properly.

• The activation sensor of the shredder is located near the center of the feed slot. Be sure to feed directly into the center area to trigger the machine (especially applies to smaller pieces of paper or credit cards).

  Symptom

|

  Possible Solutions

---|---
  The shredder runs in Rev
mode but not in On/Auto
mode.|

• While in On/Auto mode, the motor will not start running until
  paper is inserted into the feed slot. Set the unit to On/Auto and
  insert the paper to be shredded. It is normal for the motor to run
  for a moment after setting it to On/Auto but it should stop until
  paper is inserted. The sensor that activates the shredder in On/
  Auto mode is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper
  you are inserting is narrow, it may not be detected by the sensor. It
  is possible that the sensor, which activates the shredder, has
  become blocked with paper. Insert an index card, directly in the
  center of the feed slot, and apply force. This will usually clear any
  paper blocking the sensor.

 There is a paper jam in the
shredder.|

•  Switch the shredder over into Rev (reverse) mode. While in reverse,
  the shredder will back up and loosen the jammed paper. If
  required, you may need to tug and remove several sheets to
  effectively clear the machine. When jammed paper is loosened or
  removed, switch back to the On/Auto mode to continue shredding.
  Repeat steps if needed.
  CAUTION: Keep your hands away from the feed opening.

• With stubborn situations where the reverse function does not help,
  you may loosen the jammed paper with shredder oil (cooking oil is
  acceptable, nothing aerosol). Start by drizzling oil into the blades
  where the paper is jammed. Let it soak for about 30 minutes to
  completely saturate. Return the shredder back to On/Auto mode. If
  required, a rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card, folded file
  folder, or a sheet torn from a cereal box) can be fed into the
  shredder to help push the jammed paper through.

  The shredder will not stop
running.|

•  The sensor that activates the shredder may be blocked. Insert a
  sheet of paper to clear the sensor.
