WARNING

JS55 PAPER SHREDDER
Paper jams and overload protection:
JS55 is equipped with a motor overload protection device. The normal short duty
cycle for continuous shredding at maximum sheet capacity is 2 minutes on and 4
minutes off. The power may terminate automatically in case of the following abnormal
situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum capacity continuously for a prolonged
period of time, eg. more than 2 minutes without stopping.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. inserting more than six (6) sheets of
20 lbs. paper at 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 motor overload
protection which terminates the power to the unit. If this occurs you should:
1. Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 4 minutes
for the overload protection to reset. Tare or cut off any excess paper
from the bottom of the shredder.
2. Plug the power cord back into the AC outlet and set the Function switch
to REV. Pull out the paper remaining in the cutters. Keep fingers away
from feed opening to avoid harm.
3. Set the Function switch to AUTO. You are now ready to resume normal
operations.

Operating the shredder:
The model JS55 Power Slide Switch is located on the top of the shredder. The main
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. OFF position is recommended when emptying the wastebasket or when
the shredder is not in use for a prolong period of time.
4. The Clear Button is used to clear paper from the cutters.
Shredder capacity:
JS55 will shred up to six (6) sheets of 20 lbs. bond paper and will accept paper widths
up to 8 5/8". When shredding small material like envelopes or credit card receipts,
insert them through the middle of the feed opening.
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 in the Off position when the shredder is not in use for prolong periods of
time.
3. Remove all paper clips and staples from paper before shredding. Unit 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. It is recommend that shredding time should be 2 minute on and 4 minute off
to allow for proper cooling of the motor.
6. Always turn off or unplug the shredder prior to moving, cleaning or emptying
the wastebasket.
7. Empty wastebasket frequently.
