20606 EC 20612 EC 20614 EC 20630 EC 20634 EC

1. ON/OFF is controlled by the main switch (1.1) and the green

push button (8) found on top of the shredder.

2. Pressing these buttons (main switch (1.1) first) turns

the shredder on and places it in the stand-by mode.

3. Pressing these buttons again turns the

shredder off.

SHREDDING

20606 C 20612 C

Turn shredder on. Insert paper squarely into

Feed Opening (3). Continue feeding paper into

Feed Opening until the shredding mechanism

begins to draw the paper in. At this point,

allow the paper to feed into shredder on its

own. When shredding is complete, turn

shredder off.

20606 EC 20612 EC 20614 EC 20630 EC 20634 EC

Turn shredder on. Insert paper squarely into

Feed Opening (3). A light barrier will auto-

matically activate the shredding mechanism.

Continue feeding paper into the Feed Opening

until the shredding mechanism begins to

draw the paper in. At this point, allow the paper

to feed into the shredder on its own. Once the

paper has passed completely through the shredding

mechanism, the electronic controls will automatically stop the

machine.

To shred a piece of paper too small to break the light barrier, press the FOR-

WARD button (7) once to override the auto ON/OFF function. The shredder will

continue to run until the FORWARD button is pressed again.

Microfiche and transparencies can also be shredded in the same manner as

paper, however, you should shred a piece of paper after every 8 or 10 sheets of

plastic. This helps clean plastic particles out of the shredding mechanism.

REMEMBER TO LUBRICATE YOUR SHREDDER ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS

IT IS NOT RECOMMENDED RUNNING SHREDDERS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY

CAPACITY

Capacity is the number of sheets of 81/2”x” paper that can be shredded at one

time. These figures are approximate and machines may vary slightly due to various

conditions. It is not recommended that you try to run your shredder at maximum

capacity, as this increases the chance of a paper jam.

If too many sheets of paper are fed into your shredder at one time, it may cause

a paper jam. Running your shredder at maximum capacity increases the chance

of a paper jam. If a paper jam occurs, it is easy to clear by following these simple

steps:

20606 C 20612 C

1. Turn shredder off using ON/OFF/REVERSE switch (8a).

2. Firmly pull on paper sticking out of Feed Opening while holding

ON/OFF/REVERSE switch in the REVERSE (R) position.

3. After paper has been removed from the Feed Opening, move the

ON/OFF/REVERSE switch back to the ON (I) position.

4. Separate some of the sheets and continue shredding.

20606 EC 20612 EC 20614 EC 20630 EC 20634 EC

The Auto-Reverse feature, built into the electronic versions of the General Office

Shredders, helps prevent paper jams. If the Auto-Reverse feature is activated an

audible alarm sounds and the Paper Jam Indicator (6) lights up. If this situation

occurs, follow these simple steps:

1. Remove paper from Feed Opening. The REVERSE button (7a) may be used

if excess paper remains in the Feed Opening. Clear shredding mechanism by

pressing the FORWARD button (7).

2. Separate some of the sheets and continue shredding.

CHANGING THE SHRED BAG

When the Shred Bag (10) is full, the shredder will automatically shut down. On the

electronic models an LED indicator will light and an audible alarm will sound.

Changing the Shred Bag is quick and easy if you follow these simple directions.

1. Turn shredder off

2. Open Door (12) using Door Handle (11) to expose Waste Bin (10) and Shred

Bag (9).

3. Pull the Waste Bin and full Shred Bag out of the shredder.

4. Dispose of full Shred Bag.

5. Install new Shred Bag in Waste Bin, draping end of Shred Bag over edge of

Waste Bin.

6. Push Waste Bin, with new Shred Bag installed, back into shredder.

7. Close Door.

8. Turn on shredder and continue shredding.

NOTE: SHREDDER WILL NOT OPERATE UNLESS DOOR IS COMPLETELY CLOSED

Model 20634 is prepared

for the application of the

optional automatic oiling system.

Further information can be found in the

operating instructions for the Oiler. Call your

local Dealer for more details.

Using the automatic oiler will help maintain a

permanent cutting quality and will aid in

keeping your shredder running at full capacity.

DAHLE Shredder Oil is the only lubricant you should use in your paper shredder.

It has been specially formulated so as not to leave any residue that could attract

dust and clog the shredding mechanism. You can order DAHLE Shredder Oil from

your local dealer.

Repairs on your paper shredder should only be performed by qualified technici-

ans. If you need service, contact your local dealer, or you can contact DAHLE

North America Customer Service between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm EST at (800) 995-

1379.

ALWAYS TURN SHREDDER OFF IF IT WILL BE UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME

CARING FOR YOUR SHREDDER

Clean covers with a clean dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Make sure you

disconnect your shredder from its power source before cleaning.

Paper shredders, like all mechanical equipment, need proper maintenance to

ensure efficient operation. Periodic lubrication of the cutting blades is important to

offset the friction generated within the cutting head. Frequency of lubrication will

vary depending on the shred size and the amount of usage. A strip-cut shredder

receiving light use (1 – 2 hours per week) will require lubrication only once or twice

a month, while the same machine used 1 – 2 hours per day will require lubrication

weekly. A cross-cut shredder should be lubricated every 1/2hour of shredding time

to maintain maximum capacity and efficiency.

The procedure for lubricating your shredder is simple, and can be performed by

any operator. The oil is packaged in a squeeze bottle and is applied directly to the

cutting blades through the feed opening (3). Run a fine stream of lubricant from

one side of the feed opening to the other. Run the shredder in REVERSE for a few

seconds to help distribute the lubricant evenly. You can now continue shredding as

usual.
