Intended Use

The automatic shredder can shred paper and CDs inserted into the automatic insertion slots. The material to be shredded must comply with the requirements stipulated in Technical Data.

The automatic shredder is not intended for shredding material which does not comply with the requirements stipulated in the Technical Data (e.g. cardboard). Any other use is considered unintended use.

Before You Start

Read this operating manual through carefully, observing all the information contained regarding handling and using the shredder. Keep the operating manual in a safe place for future reference.

The following information should help to ensure that the shredder always functions as you expect it to.

Keep ties away from the shredder.

Keep long hair away from the shredder.

Keep all loose pieces of clothing, jewellery or other loose items away from the shredder.

Never reach into the insertion slot.

Before starting to shred material, remove any staples, paper clips, rubber bands or other foreign bodies from the material concerned.

Setting up the Shredder Safely

The shredder only operates when the waste bin supplied is fitted.

CAUTION! Risk of injury through sharp edges on the cutting mechanism. The underside of the cutting mechanism has sharp edges and corners. Do not take hold of the shredder from the underside.

1 Place the shredder onto the waste bin. The shredder latches audibly in place.
2 Set the shredder down on a stable, level, horizontal surface and in the vicinity of an easily accessible power socket.
3 Make sure the switch is set to its OFF position and then connect the power adapter plug to an easily accessible power socket.

Operating the Shredder

The shredder works using an automatic shredding mechanism. The optical sensor for automatic infeed of material is in the centre of both insertion slots.

CAUTION! Risk of injury through sharp edges on the cutting mechanism. NEVER touch the shredder on the underside when the shredder is in operation.

Shredding Paper

Your shredder can simultaneously shred a maximum of 8 sheets of DIN A4 paper with a weight of 80 g/m^2 . For this purpose, use the front insertion slot.

1 Set the switch to its Auto position. The shredder is now ready to operate.

WARNING! Risk of injury through automatic insertion. The infeed starts automatically when material is inserted. Keep all loose pieces of clothing, jewellery, long hair or other loose items away from the shredder's insertion slot.

ATTENTION! Risk of property damage through material jam! Observe the maximum cutting capacity of the insertion slot. Do not feed CDs into the paper slot.

2 Feed the material to be shredded in the centre of the insertion slot. The infeed draws the material in and stops shortly before shredding is finished and no further material is inserted.

Shredding CDs

Your shredder can shred a maximum of 1 CD at a time. For this purpose, use the rear insertion slot.

1 Set the switch to its Rev CD position. The shredder is now ready to operate.

WARNING! Risk of injury through infeed. The infeed operates continuously when the switch is at the Rev CD position. Keep all loose pieces of clothing, jewellery, long hair or other loose items away from the shredder's insertion slot.

ATTENTION! Risk of property damage through material jam! Observe the maximum cutting capacity of the insertion slot.

2 Feed the material to be shredded in the centre of the insertion slot. The infeed draws the material in and stops shortly before shredding is finished and no further material is inserted.

Switching the Shredder Off

Switch the shredder off when you no longer need to use it. This saves electricity and prevents third parties inadvertently injuring themselves with the shredder.

1 Set the switch to its OFF position.
2 Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.

Troubleshooting

The following information should help if something does not work as you expect it to.

Overheating Protection

The shredder motor switches off automatically if it overheats or is overloaded.

When the cool down phase has elapsed, the shredder is ready to operate again. Observe the permitted operating cycle.

Oiling the Cutting Mechanism

If you want to increase the working life of the shredder, you should oil the shredder's cutting mechanism at regular intervals. Olympia Business Systems Vertriebs GmbH offers a special oil for shredders. For more information, please contact our hotline:

ATTENTION! Risk of property damage through using the wrong oil! Do not use spray oils. Only use a special oil intended for shredders.

1 Apply the special oil for shredders in several lines horizontally across a sheet of paper.
2 Set the switch to its Auto position.
3 Insert the oiled sheet of paper in the paper infeed. The paper with oil applied is inserted and oils the cutting mechanism.

Emptying the Waste Bin

Empty the waste bin regularly. This prevents shredded material jamming and causing malfunctions as a result.

1 Set the switch to its OFF position.
2 Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
3 Remove the shredder from the waste bin.
4 Empty the waste bin.
5 Mount the shredder on the waste bin again. The shredder latches audibly in place.

Clearing Residual Material

If the shredder no longer shreds material as you expect, remove any residual material from the cutting mechanism.

1 Set the switch to its Rev position. The cutting mechanism runs in reverse and releases any material remaining in the cutting mechanism.
2 Set the switch to its OFF position.
3 Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
4 Remove any residual material carefully from the cutting mechanism using an appropriate pointed object.

Regular Cleaning

Clean the shredder at regular intervals.

1 Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
2 Use a slightly damp, lint-free cloth to clean the surface of the shredder housing. Do not use any solvents or cleaning agents.
