Operating the Shredder
The shredder works using an automatic shredding mechanism. The insertion slot is provided
with a pivoting guard for your safety. The optical sensor for the material in the automatic insertion
is positioned in the centre of the slot.
Caution! Risk of injury through sharp edges on the cutting mechanism. NEVER
take hold of the shredder by the underside when the shredder is in operation.
1
Set the switch to its Auto position. The shredder is now ready to operate. The blue POWER
control lamp lights up.
2
Pivot the guard upwards.
Warning! Risk of injury through automatic insertion. The infeed starts automatical-
ly when material is inserted. Keep all loose pieces of clothing, jewellery, long hair or
other loose items away from the shredder's insertion slot.
3
Feed the material to be shred in the centre of the insertion slot. The insertion slot draws
the material in and stops 2 - 4 seconds after shredding has been completed and no further
material is fed in.
4
If you want to shred a credit card, insert the credit card in the centre of the slot with a short
edge to the front.
Switching the Shredder Off
Switch the shredder off when you no longer need to use it. This saves electricity and prevents
third parties inadvertently injuring themselves with the shredder.
1
Set the switch to its Off position.
2
Pivot the guard downwards.
3
Disconnect the power plug from the power socket.
If Something Does Not Work
The following information should help if something does not work as you expect it to.
Overheating Protection
The motor switches off automatically in the event of overheating and overloading.
The POWER control lamp continues to light up blue. When the cool down phase has elapsed,
the shredder is ready to operate again. Pay attention to the intermittent operation value.
Attention! Risk of property damage through material jam! Observe the
maximum cutting output of the insertion slot.
