Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (8). This means
that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will start running
when paper is fed into it. The shredder stops a few seconds after the paper has passed
through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects, this
feature can be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid accidents, turn off the
shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be used for an extended
period.

To shred
• Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position
• Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds to
signal readiness and green light (4) will turn on.
PAPER
• Insert the paper you wish to shred inside the sheet capacity measuring gauge
(14) to avoid exceeding maximum sheet capacity. The paper that doesn't
reach the bottom of the gauge should be set aside for the next shredding
pass. (optional)
• Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see
Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
• Shred for no more than 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off
for 30 minutes to cool down.
