Before using your new product, please read these instructions to prevent any damage.
12 NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come
into contact with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish,
acetone, gasoline) in the shredder basket.

15 Plug the shredder into a nearby, easily accessible power outlet.
16 Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC
outlet before cleaning it, moving it, or emptying the wastebasket.
17 Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded
material being pulled back up into the shredder and cause jams.

19 Keep the wastebasket emptied so that the shredder output is not
impeded.
20 Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
21 Do not attempt to service this product yourself as doing so may
expose you to sharp cutting blades and/or electricity and will void the
manufacturers warranty.
22 Never try to clean the shredder blade.
23 Never shred beyond the specified sheet capacity. May result in
extensive damage to the machine.
24 Operate the shredder from the power source specified on the label. If
you are unsure about the power source, contact an electrician.

Setting up the shredder
Warning
Crosscut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the
underside. Use care when mounting the shredder on the
wastebasket.
Caution
The shredder should not be plugged in during assembly.
Note
The following illustrations are for information purposes only.
Your actual shredder may look somewhat different than the
shredder shown.
To set up the shredder:
1 Position the shredder head over the basket.
2
Place the shredder head on the basket so that it solidly rests on the
basket edges.
Note
Always make sure that these two labels are aligned on the same
side of the shredder when you place the shredder head onto the
basket. This shredder has a safety interlock which prevents it
from operating unless the shredder head is placed on the basket
correctly.
6
Using the shredder
Note
Prepare paper to be shredded by removing staples and paper
clips from the paper. Make sure that each batch of paper does
not exceed the recommended capacity of six sheets.
To use the shredder:
Caution
Do not overfeed the shredder: Shredding beyond the
specified sheet capacity can result in extensive damage to the
shredder. Overfeeding will strain the machine and quickly wear
and break the cutting blades and internal components.

To begin shredding, locate the switch on the top of the shredder and
select the On/Auto mode. The green power LED indicates the shredder
is on and ready to use.
Caution
Never shred paper clips, window or insulated envelopes,
continuous forms, newsprint, transparencies, laminated
documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard
materials, or plastic (except credit cards).
Slide the paper or credit card into the feed opening. The shredder
automatically starts after the paper or credit card has been inserted.
The shredder stops automatically when it has finished shredding.
7
Maintaining
Caution
Failure to properly maintain your shredder will void the
warranty.
•
Crosscut shredders require regular oil lubrication for optimal performance
and extended lifespan. We recommend you oil your shredder once a
month. To lubricate your shredder, drizzle some basic vegetable or
cooking oil (nothing flammable or petroleum based) onto a few sheets of
paper and feed it into the shredder.
•
•
•
Do not spray or keep any aerosol products in or around shredder.
DO NOT USE CANNED AIR ON THE SHREDDER.
Be sure to periodically empty the wastebasket to avoid overloading and
damaging the cutting mechanism.
To clean the shredder:
•
•
ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SHREDDER BEFORE CLEANING!
Only clean the shredder by carefully wiping the unit with a soft cloth or
towel moistened with mild soap and water. Dry the unit thoroughly.
•
Do not clean or immerse the shredder in water. Having the unit wet may
result in damage or malfunction to the electrical components. If the
shredder happens to get wet, be sure to completely dry the unit
immediately with a cloth or towel.
•
Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in
serious injury or damage to the product.
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. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR BY OPENING
THE SHREDDER HEAD. This will completely void the product warranty.
Symptom
Possible Solutions
The shredder does not work
at all.
•
Make sure that the shredder is plugged in and that the outlet it is
plugged into is in good working order.
•
The shredder may overheat with extended use. In the event that
the shredder has shred continuously beyond the maximum
running time and has overheated, the shredder will automatically
shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder off for 30 minutes or
longer before resuming normal operation.
If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, remove it. The bag
may be the cause of the shredder not operating properly.
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 trigger
the machine (especially applies to smaller pieces of paper or credit
cards).
•
•
8
Symptom
Possible Solutions
The shredder runs in Rev
mode but not in On/Auto
mode.
•
While in On/Auto mode, the motor will not start running until
paper is inserted into the feed slot. Set the unit to On/Auto and
insert the paper to be shredded. It is normal for the motor to run
for a moment after setting it to On/Auto but it should stop until
paper is inserted. The sensor that activates the shredder in On/
Auto mode is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper
you are inserting is narrow, it may not be detected by the sensor. It
is possible that the sensor, which activates the shredder, has
become blocked with paper. Insert an index card, directly in the
center of the feed slot, and apply force. This will usually clear any
paper blocking the sensor.
There is a paper jam in the
shredder.
•
Switch the shredder over into Rev (reverse) 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 On/Auto mode to continue shredding.
Repeat steps if needed.
CAUTION: Keep your hands away from the feed opening.
•
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 blades
where the paper is jammed. Let it soak for about 30 minutes to
completely saturate. Return the shredder back to On/Auto mode. If
required, a rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card, folded file
folder, or a sheet torn from a cereal box) can be fed into the
shredder to help push the jammed paper through.
The shredder will not stop
running.
•
The sensor that activates the shredder may be blocked. Insert a
sheet of paper to clear the sensor.
