Installation
Position the shredder onto the basket. Once the unit is correctly positioned on the basket,
plug it into a standard AC outlet. (NOTE: The 75X includes a safety interlock. If the
unit is not properly positioned on the basket the interlock will not be activated and the
unit will not operate.)
Materials you can shred
Your shredder will handle most any type of office paper documents. You can safely
shred documents containing staples, however, other metal items may damage the
shredder.
On / Auto
Simply insert paper into the center of the throat. Once your document has activated the
trigger switch the unit will turn on and off automatically.
Forward and reverse
Moving the switch to either of these positions will cause the unit to run in the
corresponding direction.
Clearing jams
If a paper jam occurs, switch the unit to the reverse position until the paper is out of the
throat. If a jam occurs with paper more than halfway through the cutters momentarily
switch into the REVERSE position until about 1 / 2” to 1” of shredded paper reverses
out. Tear off two or three sheets and switch into the FORWARD and REVERSE
positions several times to help clear excess paper from the cutting area.
Thermal cut-off feature
This shredder is designed for low volume shredding, and is not intended for continuous
operation. This unit features a thermal cut-off device that automatically shuts off the
shredder if run for an extended period of time. If this occurs, simply allow the shredder
to cool for 25 minutes before resuming operation.
