IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read these instructions carefully and retain them for future use. If this product is passed
to a third party, then these instructions must be included.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:
• Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the power outlet when not in use,
before cleaning, moving, or emptying the wastebasket.
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.
• Never dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come into contact with flammable
chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone and gasoline) in the shredder basket.
• Never shred large paper clips, window or insulated envelopes, continuous forms, newsprint,
bound pages (for example: notepads, checkbooks, magazines, etc.), transparencies, laminated
documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard materials or plastic (except credit cards
and CDs).
• Do not hold CD/DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding into the shredder. Serious
injury may occur.
• A power outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
• Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up
into the shredder and cause jams.
• Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.
• Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
• 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 manufacturer’s warranty.
• Never try to clean or clear the shredder blade.
• Never shred beyond the specified sheet capacity. This may result in extensive damage to the
machine.

1. Control switch
Using the switch located on the unit, select one of the following settings by sliding the switch either
left or right.
Auto / On: This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting
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.
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.
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.
Forward: The forward setting can also be used to help clear the cutters in the event of
a paper jam. This allows you to manually activate the shredder to cutting mode.

2. Paper / Credit Card / CD Slot
1. Make sure you do not exceed sheet count per pass (8sheets max.). Insert paper as straight as
possible into feed slot and release.
2. Insert one credit card at a time into the middle of the feed slot.
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 slot,
releasing when shredding begins. Never feed in 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 cutting blades and internal components.
Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shredded
continuously beyond the maximum running time and overheats, the unit will
automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder off for 30minutes or
longer before resuming normal operation.

Cleaning
• Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious injury or damage
to the product.
• Always unplug the shredder before cleaning!
• Only clean the shredder by carefully wiping the unit with a dry soft cloth or towel.
• Do not clean or immerse the shredder in water. Getting 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.
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.
Problem Solution
The shredder does
not work at all.
• Make sure the unit is plugged in and that the outlet is in good working
order.
• Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has
shredded continuously beyond the maximum running time and overheats,
the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder off
for 30minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
• Shredders with pull-out waste baskets feature a safety power cut-off
upon basket removal. Shredder will not function unless the pull-out
wastebasket is pushed in all the way and properly set back into place.
• If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it. This may
cause the shredder not to operate 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 activate the
machine (especially applies to smaller pieces of paper or credit cards).
• When the “Basket is Full”, the LED status indicator will indicate it
needs to be emptied. While on, the shredder will be inoperable until
the wastebasket is cleared.

13
Problem Solution
The shredder runs
in “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 card stock (old greeting card or folded
file folder) directly into 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.
• Switch the shredder over into “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 “Auto (On)” mode to continue shredding. Repeat steps if needed.
• For stubborn situations where “Reverse” mode 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 card stock (old greeting
card or folded file folder) can be fed into the shredder to help push
the jammed paper through.
Power switch in “Auto” position
Use thick paper stock or a greeting
card to push the jam through

14
Problem Solution
The shredder is
constantly running
while in “Auto (On)”
mode.
• 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 card stock (old greeting card or folded file folder) directly into 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 slot.
• 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 slot.

CONSIDERACIONES DE SEGURIDAD
IMPORTANTES
Lea atentamente estas instrucciones y guárdelas para usarlas más adelante. En caso
de entregar este producto a un tercero, también se deben incluir estas instrucciones.
Al usar electrodomésticos, se deben tener precauciones básicas para reducir el riesgo de
incendios, descargas eléctricas y lesiones a personas, incluidas las siguientes:
• Si no va a usar la trituradora o va a limpiarla, moverla o vaciar su canasta, apáguela y
desenchufe el cable de alimentación de la toma de corriente.
¡Peligro de incendio! Nunca use aceites o lubricantes inflamables o
derivados del petróleo en la máquina o alrededor de ella, ya que algunos
aceites pueden incendiarse y causar lesiones graves.
• Nunca elimine sustancias químicas inflamables o materiales que hayan entrado en contacto
con estas sustancias (por ejemplo, esmalte de uñas, acetona y gasolina) en la canasta de la
