6 Indicator Elements

Indicator	Cause	Solution
	Device is ON
	Overloading (material jam)	Clear the material jam, refer to Chapter "Clearing a material jam". Observe the recommended capacities regarding the material to be shred stipulated in Chapter "Technical Data".
	Motor has overheated	Let the motor cool down, refer to Chapter "Motor protection". Observe the operating cycle described in Chapter "Technical Data".
	Waste bin full	The waste bin is full and must be emptied, refer to Chapter "Emptying the waste bin".

7 Motor Protection

The motor switches off automatically in the event of an overload. The red "motor overheated" lamp lights up in this case.

1. First of all, disconnect the power plug from the power socket and allow the motor to cool down to room temperature.
2. Then connect the power plug to the power socket again and continue operation.

Note: Observe the operating cycle stipulated in Chapter "Technical Data".

8 Clearing Material Jams

If too much material (paper, CDs, DVDs, credit cards) is fed to the cutting mechanism at one time, a material jam occurs. The shredder switches off automatically in the event of a material jam. The red "material jam" lamp lights up in this case.

Proceed as follows:

• Either the shredder feeds the material back out automatically (automatic reverse) or you must start reverse operation manually, refer to Chapter "REV button (reverse operation)".
• Press the FWD button to clear any residual material from the infeeds, refer to Chapter "FWD button (forward operation)".
• If necessary, switch the machine to forward and reverse operation alternately until there is no more material in the infeeds.
• Remove any residual material from the infeeds, refer to Chapter "Removing residual material from the infeeds manually".
  Press the ECS button to reactivate the automatic shredding function.
• Reduce the quantity of material being fed into the shredder.
• Pay attention that the material is inserted in the respective infeed (paper in the wide paper infeed, CDs/DVDs/credit cards in the small CD infeed).

8.1 REV button (reverse operation)

Press the REV button so that the cutting mechanism runs in reverse and feeds the material back out of the shredder indeed.

Note: If a paper jam has occurred when the paper infeed is in operation, you must also check whether there is any residual paper in the paper infeed and remove it manually!

8.2 FWD button (forward operation)

Press the FWD button to run the cutting mechanism forwards and shred any residual material left in the infeed and feed it out of the cutting mechanism.

Note: The FWD button is used after clearing a material jam to start the cutting mechanism running without feeding any new material through the respective infeed.

8.3 Removing residual material from the infeeds manually

1. Set the On/Off switch to its OFF position and disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
2. Remove any jammed material carefully from the cutting mechanism using a suitable tool.
3. Reconnect the power plug in the power socket and set the On/Off switch to ON.

Attention: Maintenance work may only be completed when the power plug has been disconnected from the power socket!

9.1 Emptying the waste bin

The waste bin must be emptied when the red "waste bin full" lamp lights up at the latest.

1. Set the On/Off switch to its OFF position.
2. Pull the waste bin to the front and out of the device.
3. Empty the contents according to waste disposal requirements.
4. Slide the waste bin back in the device.

Note: It is recommended not to allow the waste bin to fill up against the cutting mechanism. This prevents the shredded paper congesting and jamming in the cutting mechanism. Empty the waste bin regularly.

Note: When the waste bin is removed from the device, the shredder cannot be used. The shredder only operates when the original waste bin is inserted correctly.

9.2 Lubricating the cutting mechanism

To ensure a long service life for your paper shredder, we recommend clearing any residue from the cutting mechanism regularly and applying a little special oil for paper shredders on the cutting tool. You can obtain the special CFC-free oil from your supplier or directly from our service center in Hattingen. This helps lengthen the service life of the device.

Each time the waste bin is emptied, apply several lines of the special oil in a lateral direction on a suitable sheet of paper and feed this sheet through the shredder when the ECS function is set.

Attention: It is forbidden to use oil spray from aerosol cans containing CFC!

9.3 Cleaning the device

Safety note: It is forbidden to use easily inflammable substances. Risk of injury!

1. Set the On/Off switch to its OFF position and disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
2. Clean the outside of the device with a soft, slightly damp cloth.

Note: In order to clean the housing, do not use any aggressive, common household cleaning agents or any chemicals (e.g. solvents, petroleum ether). If necessary, only use cleaning products specifically approved for cleaning shredders.
