1. Set the waste bin down on a stable, level, horizontal surface and in the vicinity of an easily accessible power socket.

2. Mount the shredder attachment on the waste bin. The shredder attachment latches audibly in place. If the shredder attachment is not fitted properly on the waste bin, the shredder cannot be operated.

Caution! Risk of injury through sharp edges of the cutting mechanism.

The underside of the shredder attachment has sharp edges. Only take hold of the cutting mechanism using the handle.

6. Main Switch

The main switch is used to control the cutting mechanism of the shredder. The main switch can be set to four positions:

• Position Fwd: Continuous forward running.
- Position Auto: When set to Auto, the shredding operation of the cutting mechanism is started automatically as soon as paper is fed into the paper infeed. The device switches to forward drive and draws the paper in. When shredding is finished, the device switches off automatically.
- Position Off: Paper shredder is switched off.
• Position Rev: Continuous reverse running.

7. Operating the Device

1. Slide the main switch to Off.
2. Connect the power plug to a power socket.
3. Slide the main switch to Auto. The Power status LED lights up green.

Note! A maximum of 4 sheets of A4 paper with a weight of maximally 80 g/m^2 may be inserted in the paper infeed at a time. Do not forget that the thickness of the paper increases when folded, as a result of which the recommended sheet capacity can be exceeded. Also reduce the quantity of paper when shredding coarse paper.

1. The paper must be straight when inserted in the paper infeed.
2. Slide the main switch to Off to switch off the device completely.
3. Unplug the power plug from the power socket if the device will not be used for a longer period.

Note! Let the device cool down for 30 minutes after 1.5 minutes of continuous operation before continuing shredding.

8. Overheating Protection

The shredder switches off automatically in the event of overheating. The Overheat status LED lights up red.

1. Slide the main switch to Off.
2. Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
3. Let the motor cool down for 30 minutes to room temperature.
4. Then connect the power plug to the power socket again and continue operation.

Note! Observe the continuous operation time stipulated in Chapter "Technical Data".

9. Clearing Paper Jams

If too much paper is fed into the cutting mechanism, a paper jam occurs.

1. Slide the main switch to Rev. The device ejects the paper.
2. Remove the paper.
3. Slide the main switch to Fwd to free the paper infeed from any residual paper.

Note! If the jam is not cleared by the reverse/forward running process, slide the main switch to Off, disconnect the power plug and remove the residual paper from the cutting mechanism manually.

1. Slide the main switch to Auto.
2. Reduce the quantity of paper being shred and continue with the shredding process.

10. Maintenance and Service

Attention! Maintenance work may only be completed when the main switch is set to Off, the power plug has been unplugged and the device has cooled down!

10.1 Emptying the Waste Bin

2. Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
3. Use the handle to lift the shredder attachment from the waste bin.
4. Empty the waste bin.
