    Shre\f\fer Operation
    This shredder is equipped with an Auto Start/Stop smart sensor, which 
    allows the unit to automatically start when an item is placed into the feed 
    opening and stop as soon as the item travels completely through the feed 
    opening.
    Shre\f\fer Capacity
    •  The shredder will shred up to eighteen letter size sheets of 20 lb. bond 
    paper. When shredding Blu-ray, DVD or CD discs or credit cards, only 
    insert one piece at a time.

    \broblems an\f Soluti\hons
    Basic \baper Jam
    The shredder should automatically eject any minor excess material from the 
    feed opening. Manually remove any unshredded material from the top of the 
    feed opening.
    Minor \baper Jam
    Place the slide switch in the REV position and pull the remaining sheets of 
    paper out of the feed opening. Remove the unshredded portion of paper from 
    the top and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
    Major \baper Jam
    1. Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 40 
    minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
    2.  Plug in the AC power cord and place the slide switch in the AUTO 
    position. If paper was left inside the feed opening prior to the overload, 
    place the slide switch in the REV position, grasp the excess paper from 
    the top, and pull it out. Be careful to not place your fingers near the feed 
    opening or serious harm could result. Clear any excess paper shreds from 
    the feed opening. Press the power button. You are now ready to resume 
    normal shredding.
    \baper Jams an\f Motor\h Overloa\f Situation\hs
    The shredder is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection 
    circuit. The duty cycle for the shredder is rated for continuous shredding. 
    Recommended running time at maximum capacity is 10 minutes on and 40 
    minutes off. The shredder will automatically terminate power if any of the 
    following abnormal situations occur:
    1.  Operating the shredder at the maximum eighteen-sheet capacity continuously 
    for a prolonged period of time, e.g., more than 10 minutes without stopping.
    2.  Exceeding the shedding capacity, e.g., inserting more than eighteen sheets 
    of 20-lb paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed 
    opening.
    Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic thermal 
    motor overload protection circuit, which terminates power to the shredder. A 
    paper jam could cause the thermal motor overload protection to terminate AC 
    power to the motor. Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition 
    with the AC power turned on.
