OPERATION-FIGURE 4. Press the rocker switch (A) to the Power ON 'I' position. When the shredder is properly set up with cabinet door fully closed, the Power ON '1' light (8) will illuminate. You are now ready to shred! To shred simply insert paper into the throat of the unit. Once your document has activated the automatic on feature, the unit automatically will start and then will stop once your document is shredded.

Once the shred bin is full, the unit will shut off automatically and the bin full light (C) will illuminate. You can now either compact the shreds and continue shredding, or empty the shred bag. NOTE: For safety reasons, whenever the cabinet door has been opened this unit will not operate until the door is closed and the unit is switched off and then back on.

To clear the overload, switch the unit to Reverse 'R' mode until the paper is clear of the throat area. Switch your unit back into the Power ON 'I' position, separate your pages into smaller sets and shred.
