DURONIC

Setup

1. Carefully place the PS712 shredder on a dry, flat, level surface.

2. Place the shredder head into the top of the waste bin.

3. Be careful not to place your fingers near the cutter blades.

4. Plug the power cord into any standard 220-240-Volt AC mains outlet / plug socket which shall should be located near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

5. Place the switch into the AUTO position.

You are now ready to start shredding.

Operation

The power switch is located on the top of the shredder. The switch has four settings: Forward/FWD, AUTO, OFF, Reverse/REV.

When AUTO is selected, the shredding process is started automatically by inserting paper into the feed opening. The shredder will also stop automatically when the paper has completed its travel through the feed opening.

REV mode is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam. This reverses the shredding process before the cycle finished, thus clearing the cutters.

FWD mode is also used to assist in the removal of a paper jam. By selecting this mode, the machine's blades will keep rotating continuously even if no paper is inserted. This will help clear the blades and remove any remaining pieces of paper from the blades.

Select the OFF mode when emptying the waste bin or when the shredder is not in use for a long period of time.

DURONIC
