USER MANUAL K52081AM KENSINGTON

The OfficeAssist™ A6000 has been designed to automatically shred up to 600 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 9/10 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 use near water
• Do NOT use aerosol dusters or cleaners.
• Do NOT spray anything into the shredder.

initial setup (1)

The shredder is designed to automatically lubricate the cutting mechanism as required to ensure the product continues to work to its maximum performance and to extend the product life. Please follow the operation instruction before turning on the shredder for the first time. The 60ml bottle of oil is sufficient to allow the shredder to start for the first time and to operate continuously for about one hours shredding before the reservoir will need refilling. When the 'Oil Refill' indicator is illuminated ( ) , flip up the oil reservoir cap and refill the oil reservoir using a bottle of standard GBC* oil (1760049). The automatic oiling operation () last approximately two seconds and you will hear the distribution pump during this time. Auto-oiling operates after 15 minutes of shredding time.
