Important note:
This device is designed solely for private use in enclosed quarters and for
brief operation not exceeding 3 minutes. Do not use the document
shredder for commercial applications nor outdoors. Improper use poses
risk of accidents.
The main switch has 4 positions. To start the device set the button into position
“AUTO”.
1. AUTO (automatic start): The shredding operation will start automatically once
the document to be shredded is inserted in the feed slot. The document
shredder is set to normal operation. Please only insert the paper EVENLY into
the feed slot otherwise a paper jam may result. After the paper has been fed
into the shredding slot, the document shredder will deactivate automatically.
Only insert paper into the designated feed slots!

Capacity of the document shredder:
The Aveli Basic 148 shreds up to 8 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 80g). The paper width

credit card receipts, please insert them into the middle of the shredding slot.
Please ensure that never more than the above-mentioned maximum quantity is
inserted in the shredder. Otherwise the device may sustain damage.
Protection against paper jams and overloading:
The Aveli Basic 148 is equipped with a motor overload guard. To protect the
machine well, we suggest the user to operate it in this way: work 2 minutes then rest
30 minutes. Under the following conditions, the current feed to the unit’s motor is
interrupted:
1. Continual operation of the document shredder with maximum capacity for a
prolonged period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
2. Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding more than 8 sheets of paper
(80g) in one operation or in the event the paper is not inserted length-wise into
the feed slot.
Under the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic overload guard of the motor is
triggered, whereupon the current feed to the device is interrupted. In such a case,
please take the following steps:
