Using the paper shredder
16
NOTICE!
Risk of damage!
Improper handling of the paper shredder may result in damage to
the paper shredder.
− The paper shredder is only intended for short operation and
not for continuous operation. After an operating time of no
more than 3 minutes for the manual paper feed slot and
7 minutes for the automatic paper feed slot, let the paper
shredder remain idle for 60 minutes to prevent the paper
shredder from overheating.

around the cutting unit and cause a blockage.
− Do not feed paper with paper clips in the paper shredder. The
cutting unit could be damaged.
− Avoid overloading the motor by not inserting more than 50
sheets (80 g / m2) in the automatic paper feed slot and no more
than 7 sheets of paper (80 g/m2) in the manual paper feed
slot.
− Avoid overloading the motor by never operating the automat-
ic and manual paper feed slot at the same time.

before you insert the power plug back in the socket. After-
wards, you can continue with operation.

Using the paper shredder
17
• The paper shredder has a safety contact 8, which stops the
operation of the paper shredder when it is activated. The safety
contact is activated when the main unit has 7not been completely
inserted in the waste bin 10 . You will hear a click sound confirming
that the safety contact is activated or deactivated.
• The paper sensor 17 is located on the left side of the paper feed slots
(1and 4) and aligned with the arrows for the sensor position 15 .
It detects the paper that is fed in and activates the cutting unit in the
paper shredder. For this reason, always insert smaller paper formats in
the feed slot such that they are left aligned (minimal size: credit card,
85.60 mm × 53.98 mm).
Automatic paper feed slot
With the automatic paper feed slot 1, you can shred up to 50 sheets of paper
(min. A5 to max. A4, 80 g/ m2) at the same time.
− Feed up to 50 sheets of paper left aligned into the rear automatic paper feed slot
(see fig. B).
The paper support 6enables you to safely feed in paper without having to hold
it during the shredding process.
− The paper shredder automatically switches on and draws in the paper. The
shredding process will start after a delay of 7–10 seconds.
Approx. 1–2 seconds after processing the paper, the paper shredder will
automatically stop.
Manual paper feed slot
With the manual paper feed slot 4, you can shred up to 7 sheets of paper
(min. credit card format up to max. A4, 80 g/m2) at the same time.
− Feed up to 7 sheets of paper left aligned into the front manual paper feed slot
(see fig. C).
− The paper shredder automatically switches on and draws in the paper.
Approx. 1–2 seconds after processing the paper, the paper shredder will
automatically stop.

Emptying the waste bin
18
Credit card feed slot
You can only feed one credit card into the paper shredder’s credit card feed slot 4
for each shredding process.
− Always insert the credit card upright into the credit card feed slot (see fig. D).
The arrow for the sensor position 15 of the credit card feed slot must always point
to the middle of the credit card. The sensor for shredding credit cards is located
here.
− The paper shredder automatically switches on and draws in the credit card.
Approx. 1–2 seconds after processing the credit card, the paper shredder will auto-
matically stop.
Emptying the waste bin
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Handling the paper shredder improperly may result in injury.
− Do not touch the cutting unit with your fingers.
For proper waste disposal, shred credit cards only when there is no
processed paper in the waste bin. Only shred paper when there are no
processed credit cards in the waste bin.
Empty the waste bin regularly to prevent paper or credit card residue from being
drawn up from underneath into the cutting unit.
1. Switch the paper shredder off (move the slide switch 5to the OFF position) and
disconnect the power cord 2from the socket.
2. Lift the main unit 7off of the waste bin 10 .
3. Empty the waste bin.
4. Place the main unit back on the waste bin.
You must insert the main unit completely in the waste bin until you hear a click
sound. This indicates that the safety contact 8has been deactivated for normal
operation.

Paper or credit card jam
19
Paper or credit card jam
WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Handling the paper shredder improperly may result in injury.
− Never use objects of any kind to clear jammed credit cards or
paper. Do not insert objects such as knives, scissors etc. into
the feed slots.
To clear a jam:
1. Set the slide switch 5to the REV position. The paper shredder runs in reverse
direction.
2. The paper or credit card is discharged through the respective feed slot.
3. Allow the paper shredder to cool down to room temperature before you restart it.
Fault LEDs
The paper shredder is equipped with fault LEDs. If one of these LEDs lights up, this in-
dicates that there is a fault affecting the paper shredder.
Fault Cause Solution
The overload LED 14
( ) is illuminated in red.
The paper shredder will
automatically switch off.
Too much paper or more
than one credit card was
fed into the cutting unit
at the same time.
Set the slide switch 5to
the REV position. The cutting
unit 12 will run in the
reverse direction and push
the paper back out of the
paper feed slot.
Reduce the amount of paper
and switch back to AUTO.
The manual and
automatic paper feed
slot has been operated
at the same time.
Move the slide switch to the
OFF position and disconnect
the power cord 2from
the socket. Use the twist
lock 3to open the main
unit 7and then manually
remove the paper residue
(see chapter “Cleaning the
cutting unit”).

When not in use
20
Fault Cause Solution
The overheat LED 13
( ) is illuminated in
red. The paper shredder
will automatically switch
off.
The manual paper
feed slot 4was
operated for longer
than 3 minutes or the
automatic paper feed
slot 1was operated
for longer than
7 minutes.
Move the slide switch to the
OFF position and disconnect
the power cord from
the socket. Only use the
paper shredder after it has
remained idle for at least 60
minutes.
The emptying LED 13
( ) is illuminated in blue.
The paper shredder will
automatically switch off.
The waste bin 10 has
reached the maximum
fill level.
Move the slide switch to the
OFF position and disconnect
the power cord from the
socket. Lift the main unit off
of the waste bin. Dispose
of the paper residue with
waste paper.
When not in use
If you do not use the paper shredder for a prolonged period of time, proceed as
follows:
1. Set the slide switch 5to the OFF position. The power LED (POWER) 14 will go
out.
2. Disconnect the power cord 2from the socket.
Cleaning and maintenance
WARNING!
Risk of electric shock!
Incorrect operation can cause an electrical shock.
− Before cleaning, always switch the paper shredder off and
disconnect the power cord.
CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
Improperly cleaning the paper shredder may result in injury.
− The paper shredder will become hot during operation. Let the
paper shredder dry completely before you clean it.
