Heavier paper, humidity or other than rated voltage may reduce shredding capacity.
1. This model includes a built-in safety interlock mechanism, which requires the shredder to be correctly
mounted on to the included wastebasket. THE SHREDDER WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS IT IS PROP-
ERLY MOUNTED AS PICTURED. (FIGURE 1)
2. A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
3. Connect the power cord to any standard 220-240 volt AC outlet.
Microscut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the underside.
Use care when mounting the shredder on the wastebasket.

OPERATION
ControlSwitch
Using the switch located on the unit, select one of the following settings by sliding the switch either left
or right. (FIGURE 2)
I AUTO/ON:
This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by insert-
ing paper into the feed slot. Always feed the paper in as straight
as possible. When the paper has passed through, the shredder will
automatically stop. (FIGURE 2)
O OFF:
This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons,
we recommend that you leave the shredder in the “Off” position
whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use. (FIGURE 2)
R REV(REVERSE):
In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used
to help clear the cutters of paper that did not pass through. Never
attempt to clear a jam by using the reverse function until you have
emptied the wastebasket. (FIGURE 2)

NOTE:
•Always turn off and unplug the shredder when not in use.
•This shredder will shred staples and small paper clips. It is recommended that you remove paper
clips whenever possible to extend the lifespan of your shredder.
•Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically into the middle of the entry, releasing when shred
ding begins. Never feed more than one credit card at a time.
•Overfeeding 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 cut-
ting blades and internal components.
•Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shred continuously beyond the
maximum running time and overheating, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch
the shredder off for 30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
OPERATION
Paper/CreditCardEntry:

sible into feed slot and release.
Insert one credit card at a time into
the middle of the feed slot.
Overheat:
Red light – Shredder has shred continuously beyond the maximum shred time and needs
to cool down before operation can restart. If this happens, switch the shredder off for
30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.

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.
Theshredderdoesnotworkatall.
1)Make sure the unit is pluggedin and that the outlet is in good working order.
2) Overheatingwithextendeduse: In the event that the shredder has shred continuously
beyond the maximum running time and overheated, the unit will automatically shut off. If this hap-
pens, switchtheshredderofffor30minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
3) Make sure the shredder head is correctly seated onto the included wastebasket, with all the words
and icons facing towards you. The head unit is particularly
designed to work only with the integrated wastebasket. The
shredder is equipped with a safety interlocking mechanism,
which prevents the shredder from working when the head unit
is lifted, removed, or accidentally knocked over. The shredder
will not function unless the head unit is properly mounted as
pictured.
4) If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it. This may cause the shredder not to
operate properly.
5) 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 activate the machine (especially applies to smaller pieces of paper
or credit cards).
Theshredderrunsin“Rev(Reverse)”modebutnotin“Auto(On)”mode.
While in “Auto” mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted into the feed slot. Set
the unit to “Auto” and insert paper to shred. The sensor that activates the shredder in Auto mode
is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper you are inserting is narrow, it may not be
activating the optical sensor. It is also possible that the feed slot has become blocked with paper.
Insert an index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card or folded file folder), directly
in the center of the feed slot, while applying force to help push the jammed paper through. This will
usually clear any paper blockage.
Howtoclearapaperjamintheshredder.
1) Switch the shredder over into Reverse (REV) 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 Auto-On mode
to continue shredding. Repeat steps if needed.

2) 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
feed slot where the paper is jammed. Let it soak for about 30 minutes to completely saturate. Return
the shredder back to Auto-Onmode. Ifrequired,anindexcardorarigidsheetof
cardstock(oldgreetingcardorfoldedfilefolder)canbefedintotheshredderto
helppushthejammedpaperthrough.
Theshredderisconstantlyrunningwhilein“Auto(On)”mode.
1) It is possible that the activation sensor, which starts the shredder, has become blocked with paper.
Insert an index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card or folded file folder), directly
in the center of the feed slot, while applying force to help push the jammed paper through. This will
usually clear any paper blocking the activation sensor and feed entry.
2) The activation sensor is being triggered by dust, debris, or oil. A cotton swab may be
used to clean the sensor. DO NOT USE CANNED AIR. The activation sensor of the shredder is
located around the center of the feed entry.
