exceeds – your expectations.

To ensure years of safe, efficient use, please read these few

pages about your new shredder. If this manual doesn’t answer

all your questions or if you wish to comment on this product, we

welcome your call or letter.

Sincerely,

James Fellowes

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

While setting up shredder

•Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal

due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.

•Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of confetti-cut shredder head.

•Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached.

•Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source.

While operating shredder

•Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing,

long hair, etc.) away from paper entry.

•Keep children and pets away from the shredder.

When not in use

•Always turn off and unplug shredder.

•Unplug before emptying basket.

•Do not open shredder head: Danger of electric shock.

NOTE:

Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products or aerosols of any

kind on or near product at any time.

ENGLISH

Set-Up

For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head is in the correct posi-

tion on the basket. Align slot on the side of the shredder head (A) with tab on the side of

the basket (B) and place it onto the basket in this position.

Operation

For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an

automatic-start sensor (C)

. This

means that when the control switch (D) is on automatic [I] position, the shredder will start

running when you put paper into it and stop 1 or 2 seconds after the paper has passed

through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects,

this feature can also be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid accidents,

turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be used

for an extended period.

To shred

•Plug in shredder with control switch (D) in off [O] position.

•Slide control switch to automatic [I] position to signal readiness.

•Feed paper straight into entry (E), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see

Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.

•Shred for no more than 2 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off

for 15 minutes to cool down.

•Slide control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped. Cutting continues for

several seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear shredded paper from

cutting cylinders.

In case of a

paper jam

, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified

capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full.

Then:

1) Slide and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of

shredder.

2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, slide control switch to automatic [I] position and

attempt to continue shredding operation.

3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and auto-

matic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.

If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;

remove shredder head from the wastebasket and carefully remove any paper extending

below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; reassemble the shredder and repeat

jam clearing procedure.

ENGLISH

Maintenance

Regular emptying of the basket

is important to ensure the smooth operation of the

cutting cylinders. If paper is within 2 inches of shredder head, turn off and unplug the

shredder, remove the shredder head and empty the basket.
