Frequently Asked Questions - X12CD HAMA

What is the maximum sheet capacity the Hama X12CD can shred at once?

The Hama X12CD shredder can shred up to 12 sheets of 80 g/m² paper (or 13 sheets of 70 g/m²) in a single pass. Be careful not to exceed this limit to avoid jams.

What types of materials can I shred with this shredder?

You can shred paper, credit cards (with or without chip), CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays. However, it is forbidden to insert continuous paper, adhesive labels, plastic (except cards), paper clips, thick staples or cardboard.

Is the Hama X12CD shredder child-safe?

The device is not intended for use by children without supervision. It has dangerous insertion slots. Keep children away and never let hands, hair or clothing near the openings. The shredder is equipped with a safety circuit that prevents operation if the head is not properly installed on the basket.

What should I do in case of a paper jam or roller blockage?

Use the reverse function by setting the selector to '⇄' (9) to reverse the roller direction. Alternate between forward and reverse (positions '⊕' and '⇄') about three times. Then turn off the device, unplug it and gently remove any residue from the insertion slot. Never force it with metal objects.

How do I maintain and clean the cutting rollers?

After each bin emptying, it is recommended to oil the rollers with a specific product (ref. Hama 113820) or a cleaning sheet. For general cleaning, use a dry cloth slightly damp if necessary, but never liquid directly on the device. Always unplug before cleaning.

Can I shred CDs or DVDs with the Hama X12CD?

Yes, the X12CD model is designed for this. Set the selector to position '⊕' (12) for continuous operation, then insert one disc at a time into the dedicated slot (4). Once finished, set the selector back to stop or paper mode. The capacity is one CD/DVD/Blu-ray per operation.

Why does the red LED light come on?

The red light indicates overheating of the device. This occurs if you exceed the continuous operating time of 2 minutes. Let the device cool down for at least 30 minutes before using it again. The green light indicates the device is ready.

What are the dimensions of the Hama X12CD?

The dimensions of the device are 36.2 x 19.5 x 45.2 cm (W x H x D). It weighs approximately 5.5 kg net. The paper bin has a capacity of 21 liters, and the CD/DVD compartment has 0.8 liters.

Is the shredder covered by a warranty?

Hama offers a legal warranty on this product. Any unauthorized modification or non-compliant use voids the warranty. In case of a defect, contact customer service. Original spare parts must be used for repairs.

How do I dispose of the shredder at the end of its life?

Do not dispose of the device with household waste. According to European directive 2012/19/EU, take it to a collection point for electronic devices. You can also return it to a retailer. Recycling helps protect the environment.
