First use

Checking the paper shredder and product contents

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

If you are not cautious when opening the packaging with a sharp knife or other pointed objects, you may easily damage the paper shredder.

- For this reason, be very careful when opening the packaging.

1. Take the paper shredder out of the packaging and check whether the paper shredder or individual parts exhibit damages. If this is the case, do not use the paper shredder. Contact the manufacturer using the service address specified on the warranty card.
2. Check to make sure that all contents have been received (see page 5).

Operation

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

Incorrect handling of the paper shredder may damage the motor or the inner rollers.

• Avoid overloading the motor by not putting more than 6 sheets of paper (80 g/m ^2 ) into the slot at the same time.
• Do not shred formats larger than A4 or continuous paper.
• Unplug the device if the motor cuts out because of overloading. Ensure that the slide switch is at OFF. Leave the motor to cool for about 30 minutes to room temperature, before you plug the shredder back in. You can then continue with operations.
• Remove paper clips, staples and similar fixings before you start shredding.

Short-term operation:

• The shredder is suitable only for short-term operation and not for continuous use. After continuous operation of a maximum of 1 minute, let the shredder rest for 30 minutes, to prevent overheating of the device.
• The shredder motor switches off automatically if it overheats.

Placing on a waste bin

The paper shredder comes with a paper bin ⑦. Place the paper shredder directly on the paper bin and ensure that the paper shredder is seated firmly on it (see fig A).

Alternatively, use a round waste bin with a diameter of between 27.5 cm and 37.5 cm. To ensure proper operation, place the paper shredder with both hands on the ring surface or the edge of the waste bin.

You can adapt the paper shredder to ensure that it fits well on the waste bin.

Situation 1:

1. If the inner diameter of the waste bin is around 27.5 cm, you can directly put the paper shredder on the waste bin without using the extendable rail ④.
2. Ensure that the shredder is seated firmly on the waste bin (see fig. B).
3. Connect the power plug ① to a properly installed socket with a protective conductor (AC 220-240 V; 50 Hz = house connection).

Situation 2:

1. If the inner diameter of the waste bin is larger than 27.5 cm, pull off the extendable rail ④ to a suitable length and then place the paper shredder on the waste bin with both hands.
2. Ensure that the shredder is seated firmly on the waste bin (see fig. C).
3. Connect the power plug ① to a properly installed socket with a protective conductor (AC 220-240 V; 50 Hz = house connection).

Using the AUTO setting

You can shred your paper with the Auto setting.

1. Place the slide switch ⑤ at the AUTO position. The LED ready indicator ⑥ comes on green and the paper shredder is ready for use.
2. Feed the paper through the feed-in slot for paper ② into the cutters. Make sure that you push in the paper straight and centred. If the slide switch is at AUTO, the paper shredder switches off automatically as soon as the paper has been shredded.
3. Place the slide switch at OFF if you no longer need the paper shredder. The LED ready indicator goes out.
4. Disconnect the power plug ① and empty the waste bin.

There is a paper sensor ③ in the centre of the feed-in slot for paper ②. It detects the paper inserted and activates the cutters in the paper shredder. For this reason, always push smaller paper formats into the centre of the slot.

Using the REV setting

Use the REV setting to put the cutters into reverse operating direction.

1. Move the slide switch 5 to the REV position. The cutters run in reverse and move the fed paper back out of the shredder.
2. Take the paper out of the shredder in order to continue with the shredding process (see “paper jam” in the fault table).

Cleaning

NOTICE!

Risk of short circuit!

Water that has penetrated the housing may cause a short circuit.

• Disconnect the power plug before cleaning.
• Never submerge the paper shredder in water.
• Make sure that no water penetrates the housing.

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

Improper handling of the paper shredder may result in damage to the paper shredder.

• Do not use any aggressive cleaners, brushes with metal or nylon bristles, sharp or metallic cleaning utensils such as knives, metal sponges and the like. They could damage the surfaces.
• Use a damp cloth to wipe off the paper shredder. Let all parts dry completely afterwards.

The paper shredder is maintenance-free and the cutting mechanism need not be treated with special oil.

Storage

NOTICE!

Risk of damage!

Improper storage of the paper shredder may result in damage to the paper shredder.

• Never store the paper shredder next to a heat source.
• Do not fold or crush the power cable.
• Only stow the paper shredder if it is dry.
• Always store the paper shredder in a clean, dry area that it is protected from direct sunlight and is not accessible for children. Use the original packaging for storage.

Fault table

Fault Cause	Correction
A paper jam is blocking the paper shredder.	Too much paper was fed into the cutters.	Move the slide switch 5 to the REV position. The cutters run in reverse and move the paper back out of the feed-in slot for paper 2.
		Reduce the amount of paper and switchback to AUTO.
		Disconnect the power plug 1 and then remove the paper residue by hand.
The shredder fails to switch off automatically.	There is paper residue under the paper sensor 3.	Do not move the slide switch 5 from REV to AUTO, as the shredder cannot be switched off then. Feed another sheet of paper into the feed-in slot for paper 2 to clear the blockage.
		Disconnect the power plug 1 and then turn over the paper shredder. Carefully remove the pieces of paper from the feedin slot for paper with tweezers or a similar device. Be careful not to damage the cutters.
