ROYAL HG2020MX CROSS-CUT PAPER SHREDDER
Setup:
1. Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted into the shredder cabinet
and that it fits flush with in the cabinet.
2. Plug the power cord into any standard 115-volt AC outlet.
3. Depress the on/off () button. The LED should light up. You are now ready to
start shredding.
Operating the shredder:
With the electrical cord plugged in, with the on/off () button depressed, and with the
shredder wastebasket properly in place, the LED will light up. This means that the
shredder is now ready for operation. When paper is inserted into the feed opening, the
shredding process will start automatically and stop when the paper has completed its
travel through the feed opening. The on/off () button is located on the top of the
shredder. Also located on top of the shredder is the forward and reverse buttons.
Their purposes are:
1. When the on/off ( ) button is pressed, the shredding process will start when
paper is inserted into the feed opening and will continue until it has passed through
the feed opening.
2. The reverse ( )button is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which
reverses the shredding process prior to a completed forward cycle, thus clearing
the cutters. When switching from reverse ( )to forward ( ), always allow the
motor to stop to prevent possible damage to the motor.
3. The on/off () position is used to terminate the AC power to the shredder. It is
recommended to turn the shredder off when the shredder is not being used for
a prolonged period of time.
4. When the LED is lit, it lets the user know that the wastebasket is inserted
correctly and that the shredder is turned on and ready for use. If the LED does
not light up, make sure that the plug is plugged in, the basket is inserted correctly
and the on/off () is depressed.
Shredder capacity:
The Royal HG2020MX will shred up to twenty (20) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will
accept paper widths up to 8 3/4". When shredding small material like envelopes,
receipts or a credit card insert them in the middle of the feed opening. CD’s. DVD’s
and credit cards should be placed in the designated area marked in the paper feed
slot.
Basket Full Sensor
The HG2020MX is equipped with an electronic basket full sensor. When the wastebasket
becomes full, an alarm will beep three times, the BINFULL LED will then illuminate. If this
occurs, empty the wastebasket. You can now resume normal shredding.
Cautions:
1. Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewelry, hair or other small items
away from the feed opening to prevent injury.
2. Keep the shredder turned off or unplugged when not in use for prolonged
periods of time.
3. Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding. The
Royal HG2020MX will cut staples, small paper clips and credit cards; however,
proper discretion is recommended.
4. Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injury
could result.
5. When manually changing feed direction, pause long enough for the motor
to stop.

ROYAL HG2020MX CROSS-CUT PAPER SHREDDER
6. Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or
emptying the wastebasket.
7. Empty the wastebasket frequently to avoid possible paper jams caused
by shredded material being pulled back into the cutter assembly.
8. Never allow children to shred or play with paper shredder or else serious
Paper jams and motor overload situations:
The Royal HG2020MX is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection
circuit. The duty cycle for the HG2020MX is rated for 20 Min. ON / 40 Min. OFF. The
HG2020MX will automatically terminate power in case of the following abnormal
situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum 20-sheet capacity continuously for a
prolonged period of time.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than twnety (20) sheets
of 20-lbs. paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed
opening.
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic thermal motor
overload protection circuit, which terminates the power to the shredder. A paper jam
could cause the thermal motor overload protection to terminate AC power to the
motor. Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition with the AC power
turned on. If this occurs you should:
In case of a minor paper jam the Overload LED will light up:
1. Grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out as you depress the reverse
( )button. Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or else
serious harm could result.
2. Make sure that all of the excess paper has been removed from the feed opening.
3. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
In case of a major paper jam the Overheat LED will light up:
1. Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 40
minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Plug in the AC power cord and depress the on/off ( ) button. If paper was left
inside the feed opening prior to the overload, press the reverse position and
grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out. Be careful not to place your
fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could result. Clear any excess
paper shreds from the feed opening.
3. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
