1. This model includes a built-in safety interlock mechanism, which requires the shredder to be correctly

mounted on to the included wastebasket. Located on the back center of the shredder, next to the

power cord, there is a curved flap-like shape that must FIT OVER THE OUTSIDE matching ridge

of the wastebasket. (FIGURE 1) THE SHREDDER WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS IT IS PROPERLY

MOUNTED AS PICTURED.

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

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

Micro-cut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the underside.

Use care when mounting the shredder on the wastebasket.

OPERATION

ControlSwitch

Using the switch located on the unit, select one of the following settings by sliding the switch either left

or right. (FIGURE 2)

I AUTO/ON:

This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by insert-

ing paper into the feed slot. Always feed the paper in as straight

as possible. When the paper has passed through, the shredder will

automatically stop.

READY:The green LED light indicates the shredder in “On” and

ready for use.

O OFF:

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

we recommend that you leave the shredder in the “Off” position

whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.

R REV(REVERSE):

In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used

to help clear the cutters of paper that did not pass through. Never

attempt to clear a jam by using the reverse function until you have

emptied the wastebasket.

Paper/CreditCardEntry:

ShredSafe™ technology is an added safety feature incorporated in this particular

model. It is a new technology where the shredder is able to detect forced entry and

automatically cuts the power off, preventing further shredding.

To begin shredding, locate the control switch on the unit and select the “Auto” mode. The Green LED

light indicates the shredder is “On” and ready to use. Press the designated “PUSH OPEN” area on the

handle of the cover to open and expose the paper feed slot (FIGURE 3). Thecoverwillclickinto

apresetpositionwherethe“SHREDDERSTATUS”linemustalignwiththe“READY”

setting.

FIGURE3

READY:

TheshredderiscurrentlyonSTANDBYandreadytooperatewhenpaperisinserted.

With the feed slot now exposed, you can shred sheets of paper or 1 credit card per pass.

DISABLED:

The safety feature has been activated. All power to the SHREDDER

IS CURRENTLY SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT OPERATE until the cover

is returned to the “READY” setting. The cover has been opened

beyond the safe position (FIGURE 4).

AFTERUSE:

When shredding is completed, you can press the designated “PUSH

CLOSE” area on the cover to tilt shut the paper feed slot (FIGURE 5). It is

recommended to have the paper feed slot closed when shredder is not

in use to prevent any objects from accidentally getting into the feed slot.

shredding begins. Never feed more than one credit card at a time.

OPERATION

•PowerOn:

The Green LED light indicates the shredder is “On”

and ready to operate when paper is inserted.

•Overheat:

The Red LED light indicates the shredder has shred continuously beyond the maximum running time

and overheating, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder Off for 30

minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If there is a problem with your shredder, check below for the symptoms and steps to resolve. If you

continue to have problems, contact customer support at our Service Center 1-800-327-8508. DO

NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR BY OPENING THE SHREDDER HEAD. This will completely void the

product warranty.

Theshredderdoesnotworkatall.

1)Make sure the unit is pluggedin and that the outlet is in good working order.

2) Overheatingwithextendeduse: In the event that the shredder has shred continuously

beyond the maximum running time and overheated, the unit will automatically shut off. If this hap-

pens, switchtheshredderOfffor30minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.

3) Make sure the shredder head is correctly seated onto the included

wastebasket, with all the words and icons facing towards you.

The head unit is particularly designed to work only with the

integrated wastebasket. Aurora shredders are equipped with a

safety interlocking mechanism, which prevents the shredder from

working when the head unit is lifted, removed, or accidentally

knocked over. The shredder will not function unless the head unit is

properly mounted as pictured. (FIGURE 7)

4) BesureNOTtoopenthecoverbeyondthepresetposition, otherwise the ShredSafe™

feature will be activated and the shredder will be inoperable. The “SHREDDER STATUS” indication line

must align with the “READY” setting.

5) If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it. This may cause the shredder not to

operate properly.

6) The activation sensor of the shredder is located near the center of the feed slot. Be sure to feed

directly into the center area to activate the machine (especially applies to smaller pieces of paper

or credit cards).

Theshredderrunsin“Rev(Reverse)”modebutnotin“Auto(On)”mode.

While in “Auto” mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted into the feed slot. Set

the unit to “Auto” and insert paper to shred. The sensor that activates the shredder in Auto mode

is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper you are inserting is narrow, it may not be activat-

ing the optical sensor. It is also possible that the feed slot has become blocked with paper. Insert an

index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card or folded file folder), directly in the center

of the feed slot, while applying force to help push the jammed paper through. This will usually clear any

paper blockage.

Howtoclearapaperjamintheshredder.

1) Switch the shredder over into Reverse (REV) mode. While in Reverse, the shredder will back up and

loosen the jammed paper. If required, you may need to tug and remove several sheets to effectively

clear the machine. When jammed paper is loosened or removed, switch back to the Auto-On mode

to continue shredding. Repeat steps if needed.

2) With stubborn situations where the reverse function does not help, you may loosen the jammed

paper with shredder oil (cooking oil is acceptable, nothing aerosol). Start by drizzling oil into the

feed slot where the paper is jammed. Let it soak for about 30 minutes to completely saturate. Return

the shredder back to Auto-Onmode. Ifrequired,anindexcardorarigidsheetof

cardstock(oldgreetingcardorfoldedfilefolder)canbefedintotheshredderto

helppushthejammedpaperthrough.

Theshredderisconstantlyrunningwhilein“Auto(On)”mode.

1) It is possible that the activation sensor, which starts the shredder, has become blocked with paper.

Insert an index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card or folded file folder), directly

in the center of the feed slot, while applying force to help push the jammed paper through. This will

usually clear any paper blocking the activation sensor and feed entry.

2) The activation sensor is being triggered by dust, debris, or oil. A cotton swab may be

used to clean the sensor. DO NOT USE CANNED AIR. The activation sensor of the shredder is

located around the center of the feed entry.
