Duty Cycle:
The duty on/off cycle for continuous shredding at maximum capacity is 4 minutes
on and 60 minutes off.
The power may cut off in the case of the following situations:
(a) Operating the shredder at maximum capacity continuously for more than
4 minutes without stopping.
If this occurs you should:
1. Unplug the power cable from the mains and wait at least 60 minutes for the
overload protection to reset.
2. Tear or cut off any excess paper from the top of the shredder.
3. Plug the power cable back into the mains socket and place the switch into
REV. Pull the remaining paper out of the cutters.
4. Once the jam is clear, return the switch to the AUTO position.
(b) Exceeding the shredding capacity (e,g, inserting more than 3 x A4 sheets
or 6 x A6 at a time, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.)
If this occurs you should:
1. Change the switch to the REV position.
2. Pull the jammed papers back.
3. Put the switch to the AUTO position, allowing it to clear the remaining trapped
pieces in the blade cutters.
4. Once the jam is clear, you can continue to use the shredder.
