2. Please pay close attention to the safety symbols on the top of the shredder and operate the machine accordingly.
3. If the shredder needs cleaning, unplug the unit from the power socket and use a damp cloth. NOTE: Don't use any cleaning products to clean the unit.
4. Do not position the unit near to an object that radiates heat.
5. Do not place the unit in a damp environment.
6. Take care not to splash any liquid onto the machine.

7. Return the product and proof of purchase with receipt to the store at which it was purchased if...

8. The power cable or plug is broken.

9. The machine malfunctions because liquid was accidentally spilt onto the machine.

10. The shredder doesn't operate despite following the guidelines in the manual.

Preparation before use

How to use the shredder correctly:

1. Take care not to insert fingers, ties or other objects into the entry slot of the shredder.
2. Try to avoid paper clips, staples, laminating materials, plastic bags etc. from being passed through the shredder. This will prevent damage to the cutters.
3. Do not shred wet paper as it can tangle in the cutters.
4. Do not shred more than the stated sheet capacity in one pass.
5. Do not shred continuously for more than 3 minutes at a time. Running the unit for too long may make the motor overheat. If the motor overheats, allow it to cool down for at least 30 minutes before resuming use.
6. Do not use the "REV" (reverse) function if it's not necessary. Over use of the "REV" (function can result in shredded paper becoming jammed in the entry slot, which will adversely affect the performance of the shredder.

Correct operating procedure (fig 2)

1. Insert plug into the AC power socket.
2. Check the shredder bin is fully closed.
3. Push the switch to the ON/AUTO position (standby mode)
4. When not in use, push the switch to the O (off position)

Auto shred and stop

• Place the paper or credit card into the centre of the entry slot - shredding will start automatically (fig 3).
• Paper smaller than A4 in width should be placed in the middle of the entry slot to ensure the shredder works automatically.
• The cutters will stop rotating automatically after finishing shredding
• Do not shred more than the stated sheet capacity at a time.
• If too many sheets are inserted at a time, the shredder can become jammed. If the shredder becomes jammed, switch the button to REV position to clear the jam by reversing the paper. If the paper has become so entangled in the cutter that it can't be reversed, turn off the power and pull out the paper by hand. Restart with fewer sheets and feed the non-shredded end of the paper in first.

Safety First

The warning notices on the shredder should absolutely be observed.

This means you should be careful because long hair can become entangled in the cutting head. This could hurt you.

This means be careful of ties and other loose clothing which could become entangled in the cutting head. This could hurt you.

This means be careful of hanging jewelry and other loose items which could become entangled in the cutting head. This could hurt you.

This means keep children away from shredder.

The shredder mechanism is a maintenance - and servicing-free and need not to be oiled

This means paper including paper clips or staples should not be fed into the machine

When introducing CDs or DVDs into the feeder opening, only hold by the extreme outer edge. Keep fingers away from the central drive hole of CDs and DVDs to prevent hands being drawn into to shredder and subsequent injury.

The appliance should be installed close to a fused electric supply socket outlet. The fused electric supply socket must be easily accessible.

The waste collector bins for paper and plastic credit cards as well as for CDs and DVDs should be emptied regularly. When the bins are over-filled, there is a hazard, that waste can be drawn into the shredder mechanism from below. Before emptying the bins, detach the electrical connector plug from the electrical supply outlet socket. Danger of accident!

To ensure undisruptive operation, any remnants of paper, plastic credit cards, CDs and DVDs should be regularly removed from the underside of the appliance by using a suitable tool (e.g. a stiff brush). For this purpose, the appliance should be switched off and unplugged beforehand. Danger of accident!

Caution! After lifting the shredder mechanism off the waste collector bins, the sharp pointed parts of the shredder mechanism will be exposed to touch. Danger of injury!

The applicane should never be operated continuously for longer than 3 minutes at a time (short time operation = KB = 3 minutes; see the manufacturer's identification plate). Allow the appliance to cool down to room temperature before re-operating.

CAUTION:

Do not shred continuously for more than 3 minutes. When the motor has overheated, the thermal safety switch will start working automatically. If the thermal switch trips, do not use the machine for about 30 minutes while the thermal sensitive safety switch cools down so the shredder can be safely used again.

Emptying the pull-out waste bin (fig 4)

Empty the shredder bin when the shredder paper is visible through the viewing window on the side of the pullout bin.

1. Pull out the shredder bin (fully).
2. Empty the shredder bin into a waste sack.
3. Push the shredder bin back in ensuring it is fully closed.

CAUTION:

This machine is not a toy. Keep away from children and pets.
For indoor use only.
- Never insert fingers into the entry slot of the shredder.
- Turn the power off immediately if your hair, tie or sleeve becomes entangled in the shredder.
- The shredder bin must be fully pushed closed for the machine to operate.
- Empty the shredder bin when it is full otherwise the shredder's performance will be adversely affected. Operating the shredder with a full shredder bin can result in paper jamming in the cutters, which will increase the machine's noise level.
- Do not force down shredder paper in the bin using your feet.
