Kobra +1 SS4 Mode D'emploi page 7

FEATURES
All models in the series Kobra +1 are shredders suitable for
destroying single pages as well as 91/2" computer printouts.
For shredding capacity and features see table on page 17.
INSTALLATION
For machines with a detachable plug, use a socket which is easy
to access and located nearby the machine.
Place the head of the machine (1) on the Stand (4).
Fully insert the waste paper bin (2) into the Stand (4).
The machine is ready for use. To empty the paper bin (2), extract
it from the Stand (4), empty out the paper content and then
replace the container in the metal stand.
ATTENTION: If the paper bin is NOT inserted correctly, the
machine cannot function.
The paper bin (2) has a transparent blue window on the front
so that at all times it is possibile to check the level of shredded
paper in the bin and so facilitate emptying.
USE OF THE MACHINE
Once the machine has been plugged in, put the switch (A) in the
"FWD" position. An ENERGY SMART OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT
(B) will come on for a few seconds and then, if the machine is not
being used, it will go off, leaving the machine in STAND-BY mode
with virtually zero power consumption.
Now documents can be shredded at any time.
With the switch (A) at "0", all functions are off.
With the switch (A) at "REV" it is possible to interrupt shredding
and extract the document at any time and with any paper.
This function is also possible with the OPTICAL INDICATOR
LIGHT (B) switched off.
SHREDDING SINGLE SHEETS OF PAPER
When sheets of paper are introduced into the throat (D), the
OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT (B) comes on (if off) and the machine
automatically begins shredding thanks to two photocells (C)
located inside the throat which detect the passage of the paper
and then, after a few seconds, automatically stop the cutting
blades once the shredding is completed.
If a quantity of paper which exceeds the shreddng capacity
of the machine is introduced, the machine itself will stop and
reverse the rotation of the rollers for a few seconds and then
come to a halt.
Remove the unshredded paper from the throat (D) to free the
photocells and then insert a smaller amount of paper into the
throat (D) and the machine will automatically restart and shred
the paper.
It is recommended to limit blockages due to insertion of
excessive quantities of paper and operate the machine below its
maximum shredding capacity in order to prolong the life of the
mechanical parts and the machine itself.
ENERGY SMART Function: about 12 seconds after shredding,
the electronic photocells will put the machine in Energy Saving
mode.
The ENERGY SMART OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT (B) switches
itself off and reduces power consumption to almost zero.
This function gives an annual energy saving of around 10kWatt,
reducing carbon dioxide emissions (the cause of the ozone hole)
by about 65 kg.
As soon as any sheets of paper are inserted into the throat
(D), the photocells (C) will automatically reactivate all machine
functions. The reactivation of machine functions is signalled by
the ENERGY SMART OPTICAL INDICATOR LIGHT (B) coming back
on.
AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS
All the models in the series Kobra +1 come with the following
automatic functions.
- PHOTOCELLS (C) so the shredder starts up automatically as
soon as any paper is inserted into the throat.
- AUTOMATIC STOP if the paper bin (2) is taken out of the stand
(4).
- MOTOR SAVER which stops the shredder if it overheats.
(if the motor saver cuts in, allow the shredder to cool down for at
least 10/15 minutes and it will then restart automatically).
ATTENTION: If the motor saver protection mechanism has cut in,
the shredder may not be used even if the OPTICAL INDICATOR
LIGHT (B) is on.
- AUTOMATIC RETURN anti-jamming function if by accident the
amount of paper inserted exceeds the maximum capacity of
the model. The power to the electric motor is switched off,
the machine goes into reverse for a few seconds to free the
cutting blades and then it stops. To resume shredding, unblock
the photocells by removing the paper from the throat and then
insert a smaller amount of paper into the machine.
- ENERGY SMART SYSTEM automatically reduces
power consumption to virtually zero when the machine is in
STAND-BY mode or about 12 seconds after the last automatic
shredding cycle.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Kobra +1 shredders do not require any particular care or
maintenance.
However, when cutting capacity in the kobra+1 cross cut shred
range drops notably, it is recommended to lubricate the cutting
blade by shredding a sheet of paper sprinkled with the oil
supplied with the machines.
NEVER use synthetic oil, benezene-based products or aerosol
lubricants of any kind inside the machine or anywhere in the
vicinity.
