 7 ■ Assembly WARNING! ► Do not connect the appliance to a power socket during assembly. ► The cutting blades in the cutter attachment

of the appliance are very sharp. Take extreme care when assembling the appliance. ♦ Hold the cutter attachment 5 by the two integrated carrying recesses 7 and position it over the large waste collector 0 so that the power cable 1 points backwards and the viewing window 9 in the large waste collector 0 points forwards (see fig. 1). Fig. 1 Note ► The cutter attachment 5 must sit upright and firmly on the waste collector0. Otherwise, the appliance will not start! ► The appliance cannot be used until the cutting attachment 5 is correctly seated on the waste collector0 and the safety switch 6 deac- tivated. First use Note ► Make sure the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 is in the OFF position before plug- ging the appliance into the power socket. ► Every shredder is tested for functionality after manufacture. It is possible that you may find paper residue in the cutting blades. ♦ Insert the plug 1 into a mains power socket. Operation Switching the appliance on Note ► Ensure that the cutter attachment 5 is sitting correctly on the waste collector0. ♦ Move the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 to the AUTO position for shredding. The power lamp 3 lights up permanently blue and the appliance is now ready for use. IB_484157_2501_TAV300A3_LB8.indb 7 14.05.2025 13:09:27■ 8 

Never feed paper into the cutter opening 8 if it still has paper clips or staples larger than 25 mm attached! These could damage the cutting blades. Note max. x 80g/m2

You can shred up to 10 sheets (80 g/m

paper) at the same time. ♦ Insert paper into the middle of the cutter opening 8 from above and in portrait format (see fig. 2). The appliance starts auto- matically and switches itself off automatically if no further paper is inserted. Fig. 2 Note ► Regularly remove any residue left in the cutting blades with a suitable object (e.g. brush or tweezers). Ensure that the appliance is unplugged before doing this. Inserting credit cards ♦ Insert the credit card from above into the middle of the cutter opening 8 (see fig. 3) and move the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 to the FWD (“forward”) position. You can only shred one credit card at a time. Always insert the card into the cutter open- ing 8 with the wide side first. Otherwise, the magnetic strip will not be destroyed. Fig. 3 Note ► Always insert the credit card into the middle of the cutter opening

shredding process will not start. ► Note that the residue will then fall into the waste collector

0. If necessary, empty this

beforehand in order to keep paper and plastic waste separate. Turning the appliance off Note ► We recommend that you switch off the appliance and let it cool down for about 30 minutes after 3 minutes of operation to prevent overheating. ♦ Switch the appliance off by moving the REV/

 9 ■ Overheating protection This appliance is fitted with overheating protec- tion. If the motor overheats due to overloading, the appliance switches itself off automatically. The overheat lamp 4 lights up permanently red until the motor has cooled down sufficiently. If this occurs, do the following: WARNING! ► Pull the power plug 1 out of the power socket to prevent unintended starting of the appliance. ♦ Switch the appliance off by moving the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 to the middle OFF position. ♦ Empty the waste collector

♦ Allow the appliance to cool down for about 30 minutes. ♦ Replace the plug 1 in the mains power socket. ♦ Switch the appliance on by moving the

switch 2 to the AUTO position. The overheat lamp 4 no longer lights up once the appliance has cooled down sufficiently. Emptying the waste collector WARNING! ► Remove the power plug 1 from the power socket to prevent the appliance from acci- dentally switching on. Note ► Empty the waste collector 0 regularly to prevent the shredded material from being drawn into the cutting blades from below. ► Dispose of the waste material in an environ- mentally-responsible manner. ♦ Hold the cutter attachment 5 by the two integrated carrying recesses 7 on the left and right and pull it off the waste collector0. ♦ Empty the waste collector

♦ Hold the cutter attachment 5 by the two in- tegrated carrying recesses 7 and position it over the waste collector 0 so that the power cable 1 points backwards and the viewing window 9 in the waste collector 0 points forwards (see fig. 2). Lubricating the cutting head If you are no longer satisfied with the performance of the shredder (e.g. if paper jams occur frequent- ly), use the supplied lubricating sheet q, which is specially designed for lubricating shredders. The lubricating sheet q lubricates the cutting head and frees paper debris from the blades, thus maintaining the performance of the shredder. Follow the instructions below: ♦ Empty the waste collector

♦ Move the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 to the AUTO position. ♦ Insert the lubricating sheet q into the cutter opening 8 in the direction of the arrow. Wait until the lubricating sheet q has run completely through the cutting head. ♦ Move the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 to the REV position and let the shredder run backwards for 10 seconds. ♦ After 10 seconds, move the REV/OFF/ AUTO/FWD switch 2 to the OFF position to switch the appliance off. ♦ The cutting head is now lubricated, and the shredder is ready for use again. Note ► Empty the waste collector 0 before using it again, and dispose of the waste material in an environmentally responsible manner. IB_484157_2501_TAV300A3_LB8.indb 9 14.05.2025 13:09:27■ 10 

Cleaning DANGER! ► Always pull out the plug 1 before cleaning the appliance. There is a risk of electric shock! WARNING! ► The appliance becomes hot during use. Al- low the appliance to cool down completely before cleaning it. ► Do not touch the cutting blades of the appliance with your fingers. The cutting blades are very sharp! ATTENTION!

Do not spray any oil or other lubricants into the cutter opening 8. These can irreparably damage the appliance. ► To avoid irreparable damage to the appli- ance, ensure that no moisture gets into it during cleaning. ► Do not use caustic, abrasive or solvent- based cleaning materials. These can damage the surfaces of the appliance. ♦ Remove any residue left in the cutter open- ing 8 or cutting blades with a suitable ob- ject (e.g. brush or tweezers). Ensure that the appliance is unplugged before doing this. ♦ Clean the surfaces of the appliance with a soft, dry cloth. ♦ Use a lightly moistened cloth and a mild detergent to remove stubborn dirt residues from the appliance surface. Storage when not in use ♦ If you decide not to use the appliance for a long period, disconnect it from the mains power supply and store it in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight. Troubleshooting If there is a jam in the appliance This means that you may have attempted to feed too much paper into the appliance (max. 10 sheets 80 g/m

paper). ♦ Move the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 to the REV position if the paper causes a blockage. The appliance now goes into reverse and the material is ejected. ♦ Alternatively, move the REV/OFF/AUTO/ FWD switch 2 to the FWD position if the paper causes a blockage. The appliance is now in forwards operation and the material that is being shredded is pulled in again. ♦ Pull the paper out of the appliance and then move the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 to AUTO. The appliance is now ready for use again. If the appliance suddenly stops working This means that the appliance has overheated and the automatic safety cut-out has activated itself. The overheat lamp 4 lights up perma- nently red. ♦ Move the REV/OFF/AUTO/FWD switch 2 to the OFF position. ♦ Remove the plug 1 from the mains power socket. ♦ Allow the appliance to cool down for about 30 minutes. ♦ Replace the plug 1 in the mains power socket. ♦ Switch the appliance on by moving the REV/

switch 2 to the AUTO position. The power lamp 3 lights up permanently blue. The overheat lamp 4 remains off when the appliance has cooled down sufficiently. IB_484157_2501_TAV300A3_LB8.indb 10 14.05.2025 13:09:27GB
