Danger of injury Do not reach into the paper feed opening.

Proper use, warranty

The shredder is exclusively designed for destroying paper and cardboard, as well as store cards, credit cards, CD-ROMs and fl oppy disks. Its sturdy drive mechanism is not damaged by paper clips and staples. Our general business conditions are applicable. We provide a one year warranty for the document shredder. The warranty period is 6 months when used in multiple shifts. This warranty excludes wear, damage due to improper handling, natural depreciation, and actions taken by third parties.

Splinters can cause injury Before destroying credit cards and store cards, CD-ROMs or fl oppy disks, you must fi t a splinter guard (strip curtain, order no. 1.513.050.445).

Danger of injury during intake Do not go near the paper feed opening with long hair, loose clothing, ties, scarves, necklaces, bracelets etc. Do not destroy any material which might become tangled, such as tapes, binder ties or foil. The shredder may not be operated by anyone under 16 years of age. Do not leave the document shredder switched on when it is unattended.

Safety instructions

Danger:

It is prohibited to operate one only machine of a combination-version machine. The safety clearances are only guaranteed with the combined document shredder and HSM press. Before using the machine for the fi rst time, read the operating manual, and keep it for later use and to pass on to any subsequent users. Observe all safety instructions on to the machine. Ensure that no unauthorised persons can access the document shredder. When the machine is not in use, it must be shut down and secured against unauthorised use. To do so, you can secure the mains switch with a padlock when it is in the off position. Do not remove or modify safety devices which guarantee the safe operation of the machine. No platforms or other raised surfaces may be placed near the shredder if they encroach on the specifi ed safety clearances. Make sure that the power plug is easily accessible. Carry out inspection and maintenance regularly. Switch off the shredder, disconnect the power plug and call customer service in the following circumstances:

• Power cables or plugs are damaged
• Liquid has entered the shredder
• The shredder has been exposed to rain
• The machine does not work properly despite the operating manual having been observed
• The shredder has been damaged

Switch off the shredder and pull out the power plug before moving or cleaning the shredder, or any other task outside its normal scope of use.

Maintenance and service tasks may only be performed by HSM customer service and service engineers of our dealers.

Space requirements for operation and maintenance

Fitting the loading tray:

Transportation, installation

The transport device (e.g. hand pallet truck) must be correspondingly rated for the weight of the machine (425 kg). During transport, observe the high centre of gravity of the paper shredder! Place the shredder in its packaging on a smooth, level surface. Observe the instructions for unpacking. Remove the packaging. If you need to move the shredder through narrow doors, you can wait until it is at its fi nal location before fi tting the loading tray. Without the tray, the machine is only 805 mm wide. The shredder may only be placed in dry rooms on a hard, level fl oor – not on carpets. The fl oor load on each roller is approximately 107 kg. Place the machine in such a way that the power plug is easily accessible and the ventilation slots are free. Make sure the power cable is unobstructed and that nobody can tread on it. The shredder can be moved on its rollers. If using a forklift to transport a Solo machine, you must fi rst remove the waste trolley. Then you can push the forks under the machine from the left or right side and lift it up.

Fasten the tray on both sides at the top with the Phillips screws (1) and at the bottom with the 2 nuts (2).

Attaching the waste bag (Solo version)

Open the front door and pull out the waste trolley. You can modify the trolley from a double-chamber to a single-chamber system by removing the brackets (1).

Solo machine:

• Lock the front castors by pressing down the brake lever.
• Connect the power plug of the shredder to the 32A CEE mains socket.

Combination version:

• Push the shredder up to the baling press until the press and the outlet chute of the shredder touch.
• Bolt the shredder and the baling press together.
• Lock the front castors by pressing down the brake lever.
• Connect the power plug of the shredder to the combination socket of the baling press.

The machine must be connected to a power source which meets the specifi cations on the nameplate.

Put in a new waste bag and fold it approximately 20 cm over the top frame tube. When using a twochamber system, make sure that there is also around 20 cm of plastic foil below the brackets (1). Push in the waste trolley and close the front door.
