Operation:
• The equipment should be placed on a level oor.
• Before plugging in the equipment,
• Make sure that the power switch is in the OFF position i.e. in the middle.
• That there is nothing in the slots, like paper, cards or CD/DVD’s.
• Fit the small bin for shredded, CD/DVD’s and credit cards.
• Ensure that the paper bin is tted properly, there is a micro switch which if the
bin is not tted correctly the motor will not start.
• Now slide the switch to the AUTO position, when you put the paper, CD/DVD’s or
Credit cards in the cutting blades will start and stop automatically when ni-
shed.
• Insert paper into the shredding slot centrally.
• Maximum paper width is 225 mm. If the pages are wider, cut or fold them to t
the slot. You can only shred 12 sheets of 80 g/m² paper at a time.
• If the temperature of the electric motor gets too hot the shredder will automati-
cally turn o and the red LED will come on (HOT (2).
• When the electric motor has cooled down the red light will go o and then the
motor will be ready to start again.
• The shredder only shreds one credit card or one CD/DVD at a time.
• You cannot shred paper and credit cards or CD/DVDs at the same time, if you try
it will invalidate the Warranty / Guarantee.
• Turn the power switch o when shredding is nished.
• If too many pages of paper are inserted into the slot, it will cause the blades to
jam.
• Switch the unit too REV (reverse) and at the same time pull out the jammed/stuck
paper, when the jammed paper is removed switch.
• If it will not solve the problem, contact the dealer or the service team.
Cleaning:
• Before cleaning the shredder make sure that the main power is switched o and
the green LED is out, then unplug the equipment from the mains socket.
• When the shredded paper bin gets overlled, the shreds of paper can go inside
the mechanism and there is a risk of re if the motor over heats. Empty the bin
and do this regularly.
• Clean the housing and the bin of the shredder with a gentle home detergent or
a damp cloth.
• Do not put the shredder head into water.
• Do not clean the unit with petroleum, thinners, alcohol or solvents. They can
cause permanent damage to the plastic housing and bin.
Maintenance:
• To prevent reduction of eciency, increased sound levels and to prolong the li-
fespan of the equipment, it is necessary to oil cutting the blades regularly.
• After lling the waste bin several times, the blades should be oiled with a spe-
cial oil (provided by OPUS).
• Put a few thin lines of oil across 2 or 3 sheets of paper and shred them so that
the oil will spread on the whole cutting mechanism.
