K52080AM - Shredder KENSINGTON - Free user manual and instructions

USER MANUAL K52080AM KENSINGTON

The OfficeAssist™ A3000 has been designed to automatically shred up to 300 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 8 sheets through the manual feed slot. The auto-feed mechanism has been designed to handle paper fastened with staples and paper clips and to only pull a few sheets of paper into the cutting mechanism to minimise the risk of paper jams.

To guard against injury, the following basic safety precautions must be observed in the set-up of this product.

• Ensure the machine is plugged into an easily accessible power outlet, and ensure the cable is not likely to trip up a passer by.
• Any attempt to repair this unit by unqualified personnel will invalidate the warranty. Please return to supplier.
• Unplug your shredder before moving it or when it is not in use for an extended period of time.
• Care should be taken when moving equipment to avoid any unlevel surfaces or items on the floor.
• Do NOT operate with a damaged power supply cord or plug, after it malfunctions, or after it has been damaged in any manner.
• Lock casters in place, if lock provided.
• Do NOT overload electrical outlets beyond capacity as this can result in fire or electrical shock.
• The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
• Do NOT alter the attachment plug. The plug is configured for the appropriate electrical supply.
  Do NOT use near water.
• Do NOT use aerosol dusters or cleaners.
• Do NOT spray anything into the shredder.
• Do NOT load the auto-feed chamber with unopened junk mail, magazines, bound documents etc. Although this shredder has been designed to comply with UL 62368 - EN 62368 safety standards including the "probe accessibility tests", do not operate the shredder near children or pets.

Casters can damage the power cord. If power cord insulation is damaged, disconnect the plug from the wall socket.

self-cleaning cutters (7)

maintenance (8)

The rollers on the auto-feed mechanism may become dirty over time, please wipe clean with a dry cloth to maintain maximum product performance.

The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entry-slot, can occasionally become covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine. Switch the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a cotton-swab.
