Placing the shredder
1. Place the device on a smooth flat surface.
2. Ensure the device is positioned at a distance from heaters and other sources of heat.
3. Where possible, avoid using extension cables or multi-way sockets. It is advisable to connect the device
directly to the wall socket using the power cable (in accordance with the technical specifications).
4. Plug the power cable into a standard 120-volt AC outlet.
Operating the shredder
A slide switch is on the top of the device and can be set in three (3) positions.
1. AUTO: when the device is connected to power, and the main switch on the back of the machine is on, the
power light will be blue. The cutting process is automatically initiated as soon as paper or credit card is
inserted into the corresponding feed slot. Please do not insert any credit cards into the feed slot while
shredding paper since the device is incapable of shredding of paper at the same time as credit cards. Once
the chosen material has fully passed through the cutting unit, the cutting process will stop automatically.
2. REV is used to fix paper blockages. This changes the cutting direction before an operating cycle has ended
enabling the blades to be released. If you realise that you have unintentionally inserted too much paper, and
the shredding process becomes noticeably slower, set the switch to this position to remove excess paper.
3. The switch should be set to OFF if you wish to empty the paper basket, or do not intend to use the device for
an extended period. After doing so, unplug the device from the power supply.
The device is only intended for indoor use and for an intermittent operation period of a maximum
of 5 minutes. Do not use the shredder for commercial purposes or outdoors.
Shredder capacity
The C220-A is capable of shredding up to 12 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 75g/m²) into cross cut at once. Paper width
may not exceed 220mm. When shredding small pieces of paper, such as envelopes or credit card receipts, the
paper should be inserted in the middle of the slot. Please ensure that you never insert more than the stated
maximum quantity into the cutting unit as this may damage the device.
The C220-B is capable of shredding up to 10 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 75g/m²) into micro cut at once. Paper
width may not exceed 220mm. When shredding small pieces of paper, such as envelopes or credit card receipts,
the paper should be inserted in the middle of the slot. Please ensure that you never insert more than the stated
maximum quantity into the cutting unit as this may damage the device.
Start operating

then be ready to use.
Shredding paper
Insert several sheets of paper (75g/m²) in portrait orientation into the feed slot. The paper will be detected by the
sensors, the cutting unit will start and the paper will be automatically drawn in. The operation will finish once there
is no more paper in the cutting unit.
