INSTALLATION

1. Make sure the basket door is securely closed shut. This shredder features a safety power cut off and

will not operate if door is open. Shredders with pull-out wastebaskets will also cut power upon bin

removal. The supplied wastebasket activates a safety switch, which allows the shredder to be operable.

2. Attach all 4 caster wheels to the bottom of the wastebasket. (FIGURE 1)

3. A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.

4. Connect the power cord to any standard 120 volt AC outlet.

Microcut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the underside. Do not touch. Unplug the

shredder before clearing paper jams.

Use care when mounting the shredder on the wastebasket. PUSH

OPERATION

•Off:

This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend that

you leave shredder in the OFF position when it is unattended or not in use.

•Reverse:

In the unlikely event of a paper jam, use the reverse setting to help clear the cutters of

paper that did not pass through. IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clear a jam using the

reverse function until you have emptied the wastebasket.

•Forward:

The forward setting can also be used to help clear the cutters in the event of a paper

jam. This allows you to manually activate the shredder into cutting mode.

LEDStatusIndicators:

•Overheat:

Red LED light indicates the shredder has shredded continuously beyond the maximum

running time, has overheated, and will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the

shredder to Off for 45 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.

•Overload:

Red LED light indicates when too much paper is inserted. Use the "Reverse" mode to

back up and reduce number of sheets.

•DoorOpen:

Red LED light indicates the shredder basket or top lid is not closed properly. Shredders

with pullout wastebaskets feature a safety power cut off upon bin removal. Make sure

the pull-out wastebasket is properly set back into place and the blue “Power On” indica-

tor is lit.

•BinFull:

When basket is full, RED light will indicate it needs to be emptied. While lit, the shred-

der will not operate until the wastebasket is cleared.
