OPERATION

FEEDING THE PAPER

1. Please check the voltage of your shredders carefully before using and then plug in and press the switch, the power light is now on. The shredder is equipped with Energy Saving system. After 5 seconds of iddle state the machine goes in "sleep mode", it takes low power (almost "0") - the POWER signal turns off. When you insert the paper sheet into entry gap the shredder goes in "stand-by" mode - the POWER signal ligths up.
2. Feed the paper into the proper entry and the machine will start automatically. When the shredding will be over it will stop automatically.
3. If you want to stop shredding the paper, please set it to Reverse. The machine will reverse automatically and turn back the papers.

CAUTION:

It is forbidden to place more sheets of paper then the maximum amount indicated by the producer.

If the machine will be overloaded, then please proceed according to the information given in the "paper jam" section.

FEEDING CREDIT CARDS/CDS

1. Plug in the machine.
2. Feed the credit card/ CD into the proper entry and the machine will start automatically

CAUTION:

Never attempt to shred more than one credit card/CD at a time or the shredder will jam. Never attempt to shred BOTH paper and credit cards/CDs at the same time. Doing so will damage the shredder.

MOTOR PROTECTION

The shredder is equipped with a motor overload device.

After 8 minutes of continuous work allow the unit to cool for 50 minutes before restarting. After cooling down, the shredder is ready to re-start to work. It is crucial to avoid the situation when the thermal fuse will work - this type of usage of the shredder is not proper and implies machine's overwork.

CUTTER OILING INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure proper operation and function, periodic oiling of the cutting system is required. Failure to oil your cutting system could result in reduced sheet capacity performance, excess noise, paper jams and possibly machine failure. Oil your cutters every 5th or 6th time you empty the basket, if excess squeaking and rubbing noise is coming from the machine or if the shredders sheet capacity has diminished. Squeeze the lubricant across the full width of the cutters. Press the "I" button, insert paper into sensor to activate the cutting system forward for 3 seconds. Then press „REV" to make shredder reverse for 3 seconds. Alternate between forward and reverse at least three times or until all paper clears the cutters.

CAUTION:

Never use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum based or aerosol lubricants to oil your cutting system. Use only a vegetable oil based lubricant in a non-aerosol container with extension nozzle.

BASIC EXPLOITATION RULES

It is not advised to cut as many sheets as indicated as the maximum capacity of the shredder. By exploiting the machine at its top capacity we significantly reduce its vitality. Therefore, to maintain a durable and faultless work of the shredder, it is advised to place no more than 70% of the maximum amount of sheets to be shred at one time indicated for each model by the producer. The maximum amount of sheet should be used only occasionally.

It is forbidden to shred more sheets then the maximum amount of sheets to be shred at one time indicated by the producer. It may cause the blockade of the machine and massive engine overloading, which will diminish shredder's durability or even damage it. Also you should not shred soft objects such as foil, paper towels, toilet paper or fabrics. Nor paper with self-adhesive tape should be placed into the shredder. Those materials wrap around and jam the knives.
