Disposal instructions

The implementation of European law in domestic legislation

and national regulations requires a suitable disposal of durable

goods. The aim is to protect people and the environment. The

symbol on the side indicates that old electrical and electronic

devices should not be disposed of in domestic waste.

After devices and equipment have reached the end of their

service life, they must be brought to a collection point provided

by an authorised waste disposal enterprise.

Packing material must be disposed of according to local

• One PS14 paper shredder attachment with power cable

• One operating instruction manual

Remove the device carefully from the packaging and set it down on a

suitable waste bin. The arm on the left-hand side can be pulled out approx.

The device can shred a maximum of 5 sheets (70g/ m

) with a width of 21.7 cm

(DIN A4) at a time. When you shred material such as envelopes or credit card

vouchers, please be sure to insert them in the center of the paper infeed. Do

not insert CDs or other data media which is not made of paper in the paper

Switch position ON/AUTO (automatic):

The device is ready to operate (standby). The paper is drawn in as soon as it

is inserted in the paper infeed. The shredder switches off immediately when

there is no more paper in the cutting mechanism. If you want to shred small

size paper, ensure to insert it in the center of the paper infeed. The device

does not consume any power when in standby.

Switch position FWD (forward):

This switch position serves to shred small size paper. The cutting

mechanism is switched on permanently.

Switch position REV (reverse):

This switch position serves to clear up paper jams, should they occur. The

cutting mechanism runs backwards and the paper is fed back out of the paper

Overheating protection

The device is not designed for continuous operation (max. operating time of 1

minute followed by a pause of 25 minutes). In the event of the motor overheating,

a motor circuit breaker automatically switches the motor off.

Examples of shutting down:

1. You use the shredder uninterrupted for over 1 minute and at the

maximum capacity of 5 sheets.

2. You exceed the shredder's load limit by inserting more than 5 sheets at

a time or not feeding the paper straight and flat.

After the overheating protection has been triggered, let the shredder cool

down for at least 25 minutes. Disconnect the power plug in this case.

Emptying the waste bin

Empty the waste bin regularly to prevent the cuttings overflowing and

possibly causing damage to the device.

1. Switch the device off and disconnect the power plug from the power

2. Remove the shredder from the waste bin and empty the waste bin.

The following can lead to the device being shutdown:

1. Motor overheating. If the device is used continuously for longer than 1

minute, a motor circuit breaker switches the device off automatically.

2. Exceeding the capacity, e.g. by inserting more than 5 sheet of 70 g

3. Jammed paper when it is not gripped properly at the paper infeed, i.e. it

is drawn in crooked.#

Always feed the paper straight into the paper infeed.

Never leave the shredder switched on when a paper jam occurs in order to

prevent injuries and damage.

1. Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.

2. Cut or tear off the remaining paper above the shredder.

3. Connect the power plug to a power socket.

4. Set the ON/AUTO, FWD, REV switch to ON/AUTO.

5. If necessary, toggle the switch alternately between FWD and REV to

loosen the jammed paper.

6. The residual paper is then ejected.

7. The shredder can now be operated normally again.

Frequent paper jams which cause the device to be shutdown by the

overheating protection facility can reduce the service life of the shredder.

Maintenance and Service

Disconnect the power plug prior to cleaning to prevent the risk of injuries.

Clean the housing with a slightly moist cloth.

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents.

Never use any chemicals (e.g. cleaning solvent, alcohol) to clean the
