Preparation before use

How to use the shredder correctly:

• Take care not to insert fingers, ties or other objects into the entry slot of the shredder.
• We recommend to remove staples and paperclips, avoid laminating materials, plastic bags etc. from being passed through the shredder. This will prevent damage to the cutters.
• Do not shred wet paper as it can tangle in the cutters.
• Do not shred more than 10 pieces of paper in one pass.
• Do not shred more than 200 sheets of paper at any one time. Running the unit for too long may make the motor overheat. If the motor over heats, allow it to cool down for at least 45 minutes before resuming use.
• Do not use the reverse (A) function if it's not necessary. Over use of the reverse (A) function can result in shredded paper becoming jammed in the entry slot, which will adversely affect the performance of the shredder.
• Unplug the product before moving or emptying the shredder basket.

Insert plug (D) into the AC power socket.
Slide the switch (F) to the AUTO position (
3 When not in use, slide the switch to the (off position).

Troubleshooting

If the paper shredder will not start, please check the following:

Is the machine plugged in correctly?
Is the switch pushed to the 'ON/AUTO' position?
3 Is the machine jammed with paper?
4 Has the motor overheated?
5 Is the shredder head located correctly on the bin

In case of jammed paper, please follow the procedure below:

Check if the bin is too full with paper - the bin should be emptied regularly to avoid paper becoming jammed in the cutters.
Slide the switch to reverse position to reverse the jammed paper.
If the paper is so jammed that it will not come out in reverse function, slowly push the switch between reverse (A) and ON AUTO. Don't do this too quickly as this can damage the shredder.
4WARNING - Do not under any circumstances use any metal objects (scissors, letter openers etc.) in an attempt to clear the entry - this model has main voltage inside the casing, which could cause serious injury.

Lubrication of the shredder

Only use Swingline Oil (1760049) to lubricate. ACCO Brands accepts no liability for product performance or safety when other types or brands of lubricants are used on any part(s) of this machine.

Emptying the waste basket

Empty the shredder bin regularly. Over filling the bin will cause the shredder to stop operating.

Unplug the product and lift away the head.
Empty the shredder bin.
3 Locate the shredder onto the bin.

CAUTION:

• 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.
• 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.

Auto shred and stop

Place the paper or credit card into the center of entry slot (B), place CD into the center of entry slot (C) - shredding will start automatically.
Paper smaller than letter width should be placed in the middle of the entry slot (B) to ensure the shredder works automatically.
The cutters will stop rotating automatically after finishing shredding.
A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded CD shards. CD and credit card shards should be disposed of separately to paper.
Don't shred more than 10 sheets of paper at a time. Do not attempt to shred more than one credit card or CD 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 reverse (K) 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 nonshredded end of the paper in first.

CAUTION: Don't let the machine operate continuously for more than 2 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.

CD and Credit Card Shredding

A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded CD shards. Ensure that this is correctly mounted onto the bin before shredding CDs or credit cards. CD and credit card shards should be disposed of separately from paper.
Empty the CD tray after 8 credit cards or CDs to avoid waste spilling over into the paper waste bin. Remove the CD tray before recommencing to shred paper.
Credit cards should only be shredded through the center of the main paper entry slot (not the CD slot). This is to ensure that the strip and the chip on the credit card are destroyed. Swingline encourages customers to recycle shredded paper. Please note that shredded paper can not be recycled if mixed with credit card shards. If recycling, please separate shredded paper, credit cards and CDs.
