Frequently Asked Questions - S7CD Renkforce

How many sheets can I shred at once?

You can shred up to 7 sheets of A4 paper (70 g/m²) at once. Do not exceed this capacity to avoid jamming.

What to do in case of a paper jam?

First, unplug the device. Push the selector to REV (reverse) to eject jammed paper. Remove excess paper. If necessary, use the release function by pressing the CLEAR button for 2 to 3 seconds. Repeat if needed.

The shredder stops after a few seconds, what should I do?

This is probably due to motor overheating. Let the device cool down for at least 60 minutes before using it again. Also check that the bin is not full.

Can I shred CDs/DVDs and credit cards?

Yes, this model can shred CDs/DVDs and credit cards one by one. Use the dedicated slot (1) and set the selector to REV. Insert one item at a time.

How do I clean and maintain my shredder?

Turn off and unplug the device. Clean the housing with a dry, soft cloth. Never use chemicals. Every 200 cycles, lubricate the blades with a special shredder oil.

What oil should I use to lubricate the blades?

Use a non-flammable oil specifically designed for paper shredders. It is commercially available. Apply a few drops to a sheet of paper and feed it through the slot.

The shredder is making a strange noise, what should I do?

Immediately stop the device and unplug it. Check for jams or stuck objects. If the noise persists, contact technical support. Do not attempt to repair it yourself.

How do I empty the collection bin?

Set the selector to OFF and unplug the device. Lift the cutting head out of the bin. Empty the paper bin and the small CD/credit card bin. Reassemble everything correctly.

The shredder does not start at all, why?

First, check that the device is plugged in and the selector is on AUTO. If the motor has overheated, wait 60 minutes. Make sure the bin is not full. If nothing works, contact technical support.

Can I shred staples or paper clips?

No, never insert staples, paper clips or other metal objects into the slot. This could damage the blades and void the warranty. Remove all staples before shredding paper.

• Make sure the AUTO / OFF / REV selection switch (3) is at OFF position in the center.
• Connect the power plug to an appropriate power outlet.

c) Shredding paper

Insert a maximum of 7 pieces of paper (size DIN A4) with a maximum grammage of 70g / m^2 into the input slot at the same time.

Do not shred self-stick notes or paper with residual adhesives.

• Slide the AUTO / OFF / REV selection switch to AUTO position on the left.
• Then carefully insert the paper into the input slot (4). The paper is pulled in automatically and shredded. When shredding paper that is smaller than the maximum input slot width, always feed the paper in the center of the paper input slot.

d) Shredding credit cards, CDs/DVDs

• Slide the AUTO/OFF/REV selection switch to REV position on the left.
• Open the cover of the credit card/CD input slot (1).
• Carefully insert one single credit card or CD/DVD into the input slot. The credit card or CD/DVD will be pulled in and shredded automatically. Make sure to insert credit cards with the wide side first, in order to shred the magnetic strip.
• When finished, slide the AUTO / OFF / REV selection switch to OFF position in the center. Close the cover of the input slot.

e) Removing a paper jam

The product features an overheat protection mechanism that is triggered in case of continuous operation of more than 2 minutes and in case the maximum amount of paper (7 sheets/each 70g / m^2 ) has been exceeded. In such a case the paper input slot will be jammed.

When having used the product continuously for more than 2 minutes, leave the product to cool down for at least 60 minutes until next use.

If the overheat protection mechanism has been triggered or paper is jammed, proceed as follows:

• Slide the AUTO / OFF / REV selection switch to OFF position and disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket.
  Pull and remove the excess paper from the top of the shredder.
• Connect the mains plug to the wall socket.
• Slide the AUTO/OFF/REV selection switch to REV position to the right.
• The shredding unit now runs in the opposite direction and pushes the jammed paper back out. Slide the AUTO / OFF / REV selection switch to OFF position. Remove the excess paper. Keep your hand and fingers away from the input slot in order to avoid injury.

If the paper jam cannot be removed completely, follow the instructions in chapter "d) Release function".

• Slide the AUTO/OFF/REV selection switch to AUTO position on the left, in order to continue shredding.

f) Release function

Shredding fibrous paper can cause the cutting unit to soil heavily or to jam. In such a case, slide the AUTO / OFF / REV selection switch to REV (reverse) position for 2 to 3 seconds and then to AUTO position. Press the CLEAR button (2) for 2 to 3 seconds. Repeat these steps 2 to 3 times in order to remove any residue paper from the cutting unit.

Problem Cause Solution
In AUTO mode, the shredding unit runs without interruption.	The collection container is full. Paper in the shredding unit is not drawn in.	Set the selection switch to OFF position and disconnect the mains plug from the wall socket. Empty the container.

The automatic paper feed is not working after the shredding unit was run in REV mode.	Some bits of paper are blocking the automatic feed.
The automatic paper feed stops even though there is paper in the input slot.	The paper was inserted into the input slot at a slant.	Insert the paper into the input slot straightly.
	The paper is too soft, too thin, damp or too crinkled.	Fold, dry or smoothen the paper.
The product is not working even though there are no bits of paper left in the shredding unit.	The motor is overheated.	Let the product cool down for at least 60 minutes before using it again.
