Safety Devices and Other Features

Formax 8000 Series Shredders are equipped with various safety features:

When too much paper is inserted, the cutter stops operating and automatically rotates in reverse to discharge the jammed paper. An alarm sounds. Reduce the amount of paper and restart the operation.

If the door is open, the shredder will not operate.

When the shredded paper fills the wastebasket, the “FULL” light comes on and the cutter stops operation. Open the door, remove the wastebasket and empty paper scraps. Replace the wastebasket, close the door and continue operation.

• If the shredder operates continuously for more than 30 minutes, the power is automatically shut off.
• If the motor is overloaded, the “STOP” LED will flash until it cools down.

When the flashing stops the shredder is ready to be used again.

Maintenance

• Disconnect power by pulling power cord plug from wall outlet.
• To clean the exterior, wipe the surface with a soft cloth. If the surface is very dirty, use a neutral detergent, then wipe again with a soft cloth.

Set-up Guidelines

Safety Precautions

1. Install the shredder on a level surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.

To avoid personal injury, and damage to the shredder, observe the following safety precautions. Please keep these instructions for future reference.

2. Insert plug into wall outlet with the appropriate voltage, 110V. If the outlet is shared with another electronic device, the total current should not exceed 30A (at 110V).

Operation

1. Flip the power switch “ON” located on the right side of the shredder.
2. Auto Start/Auto Stop When the “START” button is pushed, the signal lamp “AUTO” will light.

Insert paper to shred. The shredder will start and stop automatically when using this function.

3. Manual Operation If paper is too small for the shredder’s sensors to detect, shred it manually. Push the “START” button once more and the “MANUAL” lamp will light. Insert paper to be shredded. Three minutes after shredding, the cutter automatically stops rotating.
4. Reverse Operation Push the “REV” button and the signal lamp “REV” will light and cutters will operate in reverse. If too much paper is inserted at one time in standard modes, the shredder will automatically operate in reverse. If this occurs, remove the inserted paper and shred in smaller amounts.

NOTE: The maximum amount of paper to be shredded differs according to paper quality, humidity and voltage. If the shredder is to be used continuously, do not insert more than half of the maximum capacity.

NOTE: In case of emergency, flip the “Power Switch” to cut off power and/or pull the plug out of the wall outlet.
