Feeding Paper into the Device The device can shred a maximum of 12 sheets (A4, 70 g/m²) simultaneously. Switch on the file shredder by pressing the ON/OFF button on the rear of the device. The green LED ‘Power‘

lights up, and the operating mode (Ready) and current time are shown in the LED display. (See section C for setting the current time) Any paper in the feeder is detected automatically and the device starts operating; the operating mode (In Use) and the current time are shown in the LCD display. Once all paper has been shredded and no additional paper is fed into the machine, the device stops automatically (Standby Mode). An automatic reverse and stop function prevents a paper jam when the device is overloaded with too much paper in the feeder. Should a paper jam occur, remove all paper from the feeder and wait until the device has finished its automatic cleaning process and has stopped operating. Only insert a maximum of 12 sheets A4, 70 g/m² into the feeder. ‘FWD‘ If you place a narrow piece of paper (< 10 cm) into the feeder sideways, then the photoelectric barrier may not detect it and thus not start the device automatically. In this case, press and hold the button ‘FWD‘ until the paper has been drawn in completely. ‘REV‘ By pressing the button ‘REV‘, you can initiate the reverse operation of the cutting mechanism in case of a paper jam. When the sensor detects that the waste paper container is full, the device stops automatically and the red LED ‘Bin Full‘ lights up, and the LCD display will show ‘Basket Full‘. First remove all paper from the feeder, and then empty the waste paper container. Please note the instructions in the section: ‘Maintenance‘ B.
