Auto-feed Technology

The Auto+ 175X has been designed to automatically shred up to 175 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 7 sheets through the manual feed slot. The auto-feed mechanism has been designed to handle paper fastened with staples and paper clips and to only pull a few sheets of paper into the cutting mechanism to minimise the risk of paper jams.

Operation

1 Unpack the product.
2 Connect the shredder to mains supply.
3 Ensure the ON/OFF button on the back of the machine is in the ON position, which will illuminate the blue standby symbol (💡).
4 To commence shredding, press the Auto button ⏻), which sets the shredder into auto mode. You are now ready to shred.
5 To load the shredder, simply lift the loading door handle (see fig 1) to open the loading door and insert documents. You can open the door further to 90 degrees for easier access if required. Load up to 175 sheets at a time into the feed chamber. Do not fill above the 175 MAX level, this could damage the shredder (see fig 2).
6 The shredder will start the shredding cycle automatically ONLY after closing the loading door (see fig 1). If there is still paper in the Autofeed chamber after first attempt open and reclose the paper loading door a second time.
7 If you only have up to 7 sheets to shred, you can use the manual feed slot, provided the auto feed chamber is empty (see fig 3).
8 Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The shredder will detect the paper and start automatically.
9 If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 2 minutes without being used, the shredder will automatically turn back to standby mode in order to save power.
The shredder will automatically 'wake up' from sleep mode when paper is inserted into the shred mouth or you open the loading door. There is no need to press the Auto button ( 🔒 ).

Bin or Loading Door Open Safety Function

As a safety precaution, if the bin or loading door is opened during shredding, the shredder will stop and the bin full indicator will illuminate (7).

Automatic Jam Clearance

In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Auto+ 175X will automatically reverse and forward the engine three times to clear a jam. During this operation the Paper Jam indicator will flash (8M).

Rare Occasions of Jamming

In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Auto+ 175X will stop shredding. Check that the bin is not full then try clearing the jam using the reverse (◀◀) and continuous jam boost (▶▶buttons then return to Auto mode (◀)). If this is unsuccessful follow the reverse function instructions.

Reverse Function

Should you wish to reverse paper out whilst shredding, a reverse button (◀◀) has been fitted for your convenience.
2 Reverse the paper out then turn the machine off using the ON/OFF switch at the rear of the shredder. Remove the paper from the manual feed slot (if being used) or open the loading door, remove the remaining stack of paper, then pull the jammed paper free of the cutting mechanism.
3 To resume shredding, turn the shredder on using the ON/OFF switch at the rear of the shredder. Return the switch to the auto position ( 🔍 ).

Over Heating

If the Auto+ 175X is used continuously for over 10 minutes the shredder may overheat and the cool down indicator will flash red ( ). Please allow the shredder to cool down. When the shredder is ready to be used the thermometer symbol will no longer illuminate. If the shredder needs to cool down while shredding, no action is needed. The shredder will automatically restart shredding paper once it has cooled down after periods of continuous use. All you need to do is ensure paper is loaded into the chamber and the bin is empty when the machine is cooling down.

Bin Full

The shredder will not function when the bin is full and the bin full symbol ( ) is illuminated. You should empty the bin.

• Pull open the bin slowly to empty.
• Push the empty bin back into place and press the auto button to resume shredding.

CD/DVD Shredding

A separate CD/DVD tray is provided to collect the shredded CD/DVD shards, ensure that this is correctly mounted onto the bin before shredding.

1 Lift up the paper loading door (see fig 4).
2 Always insert CDs/DVDs in the CD/DVD slot (see fig 5). Only shred one CD/DVD at a time.
3 Close the paper loading door.
4 Empty the CD/DVD bin after 8 CDs/DVDs to avoid waste spilling over into the paper waste bin.
5 Remove the CD/DVD tray before recommencing to shred paper.

Credit Card Shredding

1 Lift up the paper loading door (see fig 4).
2 Insert the credit card into the roller as shown (see fig 6). Only shred one credit card at a time.
3 Close the paper loading door.

Rexel encourages customers to recycle shredded paper. Please note that shredded paper cannot be recycled if mixed with credit card shards. If recycling, please separate shredded paper and credit cards.

Self-cleaning Cutters

After emptying and replacing a full bin, the shredder will run in forward for 4 seconds, stop for 2 seconds and then reverse for 4 seconds to clear away any remaining paper from the cutter mechanism. This unique 'self-cleaning' mechanism is additional jam prevention technology from Rexel.

Maintenance

The rollers on the auto-feed mechanism may become dirty over time, please wipe clean with a dry cloth to maintain maximum product performance (see fig 7).

The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entry-slot, can occasionally become covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine. Switch the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a cotton-swab (see fig 8).

Lubrication of the Shredder

Only use Rexel Oil Sheets (2101948 & 2101949) to lubricate. ACCO Brands Europe accepts no liability for product performance or safety when other types or brands of lubricants are used on any part(s) of this machine. Rexel recommend using an oil sheet after the bin has been emptied three times (and for on-going three bin cycle thereafter). Insert the oil sheet into the manual feed slot and NOT in the auto-feed chamber. Using an oil sheet in the auto-feed chamber will contaminate the feed rollers preventing the auto-feed mechanism shredding. Follow the maintenance instructions if the rollers become contaminated.

Shredder Accessories

We recommend that a paper waste sack for recycling shredded paper is used on all models.
