[. . . ] 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 Chairman & CEO Contents Product Profile . [. . . ] 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 automatic [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.
