Auto Feed Technology The AutoFeed+ shredders have been designed to automatically shred up to 750 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 20 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. See specications tables for the capacity details on your model. Locking the Paper Loading Door For additional security the paper loading door can be locked during the shredding of condential material. To lock shredder:

1. Place documents in tray. Close paper loading door.

• 4 digit code is re-entered.

• Shredding is complete.

• Shredder is inactive for 30 minutes (but documents remain in tray) Bin Full The shredder will not function when the bin is full and the bin full symbol is illuminated. You should empty the bin.

• Pull open the bin slowly to empty.

• Push the empty bin back into place and press the auto button to resume shredding. Over Heating If the AutoFeed+ shredder is used continuously without pausing, it may overheat and the cool down indicator will ash red . Please allow the shredder to cool down. When the shredder is ready to be used the thermometer symbol will no longer illuminate. If the shredder needs to cool down while shredding, no action is needed. The shredder will automatically restart shredding paper once it has cooled down after periods of continuous use. All you need to do is ensure paper is loaded into the chamber and the bin is empty when the machine is cooling down.
