1. Operating the shredder at the maximum capacity continuously for a prolonged
period of time, e.g. more than 2 minutes without stopping. This abnormal
operation may result in the activation of the automatic motor overload
protection, which terminates the power to the unit. If this occurs you should:
A. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 25
minutes for the overload protection to reset. Tear or cut off any
excess paper from the top of the shredder.
B. Plug the power cord back into the AC outlet and place the Switch in
REV. Pull the remaining paper out of the cutters. Place the Switch
back to the Auto position if necessary.
C. With the Switch in the AUTO position and the feed opening clear,
you are now ready to resume normal shredding.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, e.g. Inserting more than 10 sheets at one
pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening. If this happens,
you should:
A. Change the switch to REV position. Pull the jammed papers back.
B. Change the switch to AUTO position. The shredder is now ready for
additional shredding.

Setup：

2. Plug the power cord into any standard 120 VAC outlet.
3. Place the Main Switch in the AUTO position.
Operating the Shredder：
The Switch is located on the top of the shredder. The Switch has three (3)
settings.
1. When AUTO is selected, the shredding process is started automatically
by inserting the paper into the feed opening. The shredder will stop
automatically when the paper has completed its travel through the feed
opening.
2. REV is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which reverses the
shredding process prior to a completed cycle, thus clearing the cutters.
3. The OFF position is recommended when emptying the wastebasket or
when the shredder is not in use for a prolonged period of time.

Shredding Capacity：
The shredder will shred 8 sheets of 75gsm paper at once and will accept
paper widths up to 8.6" (220mm). When shredding small material like
envelopes or credit card receipts, insert them through the middle of the feed
opening, it will also be able to shred CD/DVD into 4 pcs.
Cautions：
1. Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewellery, hair, or other small items
away from the feed opening to prevent injury.
2. Keep the switch in the OFF position when the shredder is not in use for
prolonged periods of time.
3. Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding. The
shredder will cut staples, however it is not recommended.
4. Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injury
could result.
5. Continuous shredding of computer paper should not exceed 2 minutes. If
continuous use is required, it is recommend that the shredding time should
be 2 minutes on and 25 minutes off to allow for proper cooling of the
motor.
6. Ensure that the shredder is located near the power outlet and that the
outlet is easily accessible.
7. Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning, or
emptying the wastebasket.
8. Empty the wastebasket frequently.
