Do not leave the shredder unattended, especially if there are children or animals
nearby. The device is not a toy – ensure it is out of the reach of children and
animals.
The device is only suitable for use indoors.
Keep the device as close as possible to the source of power in case of
emergencies and, if possible, do not use an extension cable.
This device was designed to shred paper up to DIN A4 size (80g/m²). Larger
sheets of paper must be folded or cut until they are A4-sized or smaller.
To avoid overloading, ensure that you do not exceed the maximum number of
sheets per operation.
Do not insert any plastic covers or metal strips into the cutting unit since such
materials may damage the blades.
Remove all paper clips and staples before inserting the paper.
Placing the shredder:
1.
Place the device on a smooth flat surface.
2.
Ensure the device is positioned at a distance from heaters and other sources of heat.
3.
Where possible, avoid using extension cables or multi-way sockets. It is advisable to
connect the device directly to the wall socket using the power cable (in accordance with
the technical specifications).
4.
Safely position the shredder above the paper basket while ensuring your fingers do
not get caught between the top of the paper basket and the shredder attachment.
5.
Connect the mains plug to a conventional 220-240 volt AC power socket.
Important notice:
The device is fitted with a release mechanism which stops the device from functioning if
it is not being operated correctly with the paper basket provided. The unit must be flush
with the edge of the paper basket with the extensions locking into the device to enable it
to function. If this does not occur, re-position the device on the paper basket or place it
the other way around until you hear a faint click.
Operating the shredder:
A switch is located on the top of the device and can be set in three (3) positions.
1.
AUTO position: the cutting process is automatically initiated as soon as paper, a CD/DVD
or credit card is inserted into the corresponding input slot. Please do not insert any
CDs/DVDs or credit cards into the input slot while shredding paper since the device is
incapable of shredding of paper at the same time as CDs/DVDs or credit cards. Once the
chosen material has fully passed through the cutting unit, the cutting process will stop
automatically.
2.
REV is used to fix paper blockages. This changes the cutting direction before an operating
cycle has ended enabling the blades to be released. If you realise that you have
unintentionally inserted too much paper, and the shredding process becomes noticeably
slower, set the switch to this position.
