The S5 is operated by means of a sliding switch located at the top of the shredder. This switch can be set to three positions: AUTO, OFF, REV. Set the sliding switch to AUTO to activate automatic paper intake as soon as a document is placed in the feeder slot, triggering the release switch in the feeder opening. If the sliding switch is set to OFF, the shredder does not automatically start up when a document is placed in the feeder opening. We recommend setting the switch to this position when the shredder is not in use. Set the sliding switch to REV, if you wish to operate the shredder continuously in reverse mode. This is required to clear a paper jam in the feeder. The S5 can shred up to 5 sheets (DIN A4, 70g/m²) at a time and can handle documents of up to 220mm in width. If you wish to shred smaller pieces of paper such as envelopes and sales re- ceipts, insert them at the centre of the feeder slot to ensure that the switching sensor is trigge- red. The S5 is equipped with a motor overload circuit breaker. A normal operating cycle for shredding at maximum load takes 2 minutes, which must be followed by a break in operation. The power supply to the shredder motor is automatically interrupted in the following cases:

1. Continuous operation of the document shredder at maximum capacity overa prolonged period

of time, i.e. for more than 2 minutes without interruption.

2. Simultaneous insertion of more than 5 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 70g/m²) or feeding of paper in

a direction other than longitudinal. Under the above conditions, the automatic overload circuit breaker of the motor might be trigge- red, interrupting the power supply to the device. If this occurs, proceed as follows:9

1. Disconnect the power plug from the mains socket and wait until the overload circuit breaker

is automatically reset. Remove the paper by pulling it upwards out of the cutting unit and tear off any excess paper.

2. Reconnect the power plug to the mains socket and set the sliding switch to REV. Remove the

remaining paper from the shredder blades. Set the sliding switch to AUTO. If necessary, repeat this procedure.

3. When the feeder slot is again unblocked, continue shredding by setting the sliding switch to

AUTO. In the event of a minor short paper jam, the power supply is interrupted only temporarily. This means that the device can be restarted as soon as the jam is removed. Remark: To protect the machine well, we suggest the user to operate it in this way: work two minutes then rest one hour.
