Operation
1. Remove shredder from packaging and place shredder head on

flashing icon changes to a solid blue light.
You are now able to shred.
4. Insert paper to be shredded into the feed slot ‘e’.
While paper is being shredded the blue shredder in operation
icon will remain illuminated.
Note: Make sure the paper to be inserted is neatly stacked.
If the paper thickness is within the shredder’s capacity, the
motor will start and your documents will be shredded. The
cutters will stop once the shredding process is complete.
5. If the paper thickness is greater than the shredder’s capacity
the auto reverse icon will flash red and the motor will run in
reverse.
6. If this happens, remove some of the sheets from the paper
stack and re-try. The shredder will automatically start and allow
the paper to be shredded.
Warning: Do NOT under any circumstances use any
metal objects (scissors, letter openers etc.) in an attempt
to clear the paper entry.
Rare occasions of jamming
Should the paper jam not clear, press and hold the button
for 2 seconds, then press and hold the button for 2 seconds.
Repeat until the jam has cleared. Please do not alternate between

shredder may overheat. If this occurs the overheat icon will
illuminate red.
When the shredder is ready to be used again the red overheat icon
will go out. This will take approx. 60 minutes.
To resume shredding, press the On button and start feeding
documents into the feed slot.
