First use
Checking the paper shredder and product contents
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
If you are not cautious when opening the packaging with a sharp
knife or other pointed objects, you may easily damage the paper
shredder.
− For this reason, be very careful when opening the packaging.
1. Take the paper shredder out of the packaging and check whether the paper
shredder or individual parts exhibit damages. If this is the case, do not use the
paper shredder. Contact the manufacturer using the service address specified on
the warranty card.
2. Check to make sure that all contents have been received (see fig. A).
Operation
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Incorrect handling of the paper shredder may damage the motor or
the inner rollers.
− Avoid overloading the motor by not putting more than 6 sheets
of paper (80 gsm) into the slot at the same time.
− Do not shred formats larger than A4 or continuous paper.
− Unplug the device if the motor cuts out because of
overloading. Ensure that the slide switch is at OFF. Leave the
motor to cool for about 30 minutes to room temperature,
before you plug the shredder back in. You can then continue
with operations.
− Remove paper clips, staples and similar fixings before you start
shredding.

Operation
14
Short-term operation:
• The shredder is suitable only for short-term operation and not for
continuous use. After continuous operation of a maximum of
1 minute, let the shredder rest for 30 minutes, to prevent
overheating of the device.
• The shredder motor switches off automatically if it overheats.
Placing on a waste bin
The paper shredder comes with a paper bin 7. Place the paper shredder directly on
the paper bin and ensure that the paper shredder is seated firmly on it (see fig D).
Alternatively, use a round waste bin with a diameter of between 27.5 cm and 37.5 cm.
To ensure proper operation, place the paper shredder with both hands on the ring
surface or the edge of the waste bin.
You can adapt the paper shredder to ensure that it fits well on the waste bin.
Situation 1:
1. If the inner diameter of the waste bin is around 27.5 cm, you can directly put the
paper shredder on the waste bin without using the extendable rail 4.
2. Ensure that the shredder is seated firmly on the waste bin (see fig. B).
3. Connect the power plug 1to a properly installed socket with a protective
conductor (AC 240 V; 50 Hz = house connection).
Situation 2:
1. If the inner diameter of the waste bin is larger than 27.5 cm, pull off the
extendable rail 4to a suitable length and then place the paper shredder on the
waste bin with both hands.
2. Ensure that the shredder is seated firmly on the waste bin (see fig. C).
3. Connect the power plug 1to a properly installed socket with a protective
conductor (AC 240 V; 50 Hz = house connection).
Using the AUTO setting
You can shred your paper with the Auto setting.
1. Place the slide switch 5at the AUTO position.
The LED ready indicator 6comes on green and the paper shredder is ready for
use.
2. Feed the paper through the feed-in slot for paper 2into the cutters.
Make sure that you push in the paper straight and centred (see fig. E).
If the slide switch is at AUTO, the paper shredder switches off automatically as
soon as the paper has been shredded.

Cleaning
15
3. Place the slide switch at OFF if you no longer need the paper shredder.
The LED ready indicator goes out.
4. Disconnect the power plug 1and empty the waste bin.
There is a paper sensor 3in the centre of the feed-in slot for
paper 2. It detects the paper inserted and activates the cutters in
the paper shredder. For this reason, always push smaller paper for-
mats into the centre of the slot.
Using the REV setting
Use the REV setting to put the cutters into reverse operating direction.
1. Move the slide switch 5to the REV position.
The cutters run in reverse and move the fed paper back out of the shredder.
2. Take the paper out of the shredder in order to continue with the shredding
process (see “paper jam” in the fault table).
Cleaning
NOTICE!
Risk of short circuit!
Water that has penetrated the housing may cause a short circuit.
− Disconnect the power plug before cleaning.
− Never submerge the paper shredder in water.
− Make sure that no water penetrates the housing.
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the paper shredder may result in damage to
the paper shredder.
− Do not use any aggressive cleaners, brushes with metal or
nylon bristles, sharp or metallic cleaning utensils such as
knives, metal sponges and the like. They could damage the
surfaces.

Storage

Fault table
Fault Cause Correction
A paper jam is
blocking the
paper shredder.
Too much paper
was fed into the
cutters.
Move the slide switch 5to the REV
position. The cutters run in reverse and
move the paper back out of the feed-in
slot for paper 2.

Fault Cause Correction
The shredder
fails to switch off
automatically.
There is paper
residue under the
paper sensor 3.
Do not move the slide switch 5from
REV to AUTO, as the shredder cannot be
switched off then.
Feed another sheet of paper into the
feed-in slot for paper 2to clear the
blockage.
Disconnect the power plug 1and then
turn over the paper shredder. Carefully
remove the pieces of paper from the feed-
in slot for paper with tweezers or a similar
device.
Be careful not to damage the cutters.
