DURONIC

Setup

  1. Carefully place the PS285 shredder on a dry, flat, level surface.

  2. Ensure that the motor unit is fitted in place on top of the waste bin.

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

  4. Plug the power cable into any standard 220-240-Volt AC mains outlet / plug socket which should be located near the shredder 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: FWD (forward), AUTO, OFF, REV (reverse).

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 cutting blades.

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

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.

DURONIC

Special Features

This model is compact and ideal for desktop or tabletop use, and has a handle which allows for easy emptying of the bin.

Capacity
