Operation CONTINUED NEXT PAGE �Control Switch  Using the switch located on the unit, select one of the following settings by sliding the switch either left or right. (FIGURE 2) I��AUTO: This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting paper into the feed slot. Always feed the paper as straight as possible. When the paper has passed through, the shredder will automatically stop. O OFF: This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend that you leave the shredder in the “Off” position whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use. R REV (REVERSE): In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear the cutters of paper that did not pass through. Never attempt to clear a jam by using the reverse function until you have emptied the wastebasket. FIGURE 2     all-guide s.com

�Paper / Credit Card Entry: ShredSafe™ technology is an added safety feature incorporated in this particular model. It is a new technology where the shredder is able to detect forced entry and automatically cuts the power off, preventing further shredding. To begin shredding, locate the control switch on the unit and select the “Auto” mode. The Green LED light indicates the shredder is “On” and ready to use. Press the designated “PUSH OPEN” area on the handle of the cover to open and expose the paper feed slot (FIGURE 2). The cover will click into a preset position where the “SHREDDER STATUS” line must align with the “READY” setting. �Ready:� The shredder is currently on STANDBY and ready to operate when paper is inserted. With the feed slot now exposed, you can shred sheets of paper or 1 credit card per pass. �DISABLED: The safety feature has been activated. All power to the SHREDDER IS CURRENTLY SHUT OFF AND WILL NOT OPERATE until the cover is returned to the “READY” set- ting. The cover has been opened beyond the safe position (FIGURE 3). �AFTER USE: When shredding is completed, you can press the designated “PUSH CLOSE” area on the cover to tilt shut the paper feed slot (FIGURE 4). It is recommended to have the paper feed slot closed when shredder is not in use to prevent any objects from accidentally getting into the feed slot. FIGURE�3 FIGURE�4 FIGURE�2

Overheat / Power On • Power On: The Green LED light indicates the shredder is “On” and ready to operate when paper is inserted. • Overheat: The Red LED light indicates that the shredder has shred continuously beyond the maximum running time and has overheated and the unit will automatically shut off. If this hap- pens, switch the shredder Off for 30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation. • Overload: The Red LED light indicates when too much paper is inserted. Use the "Reverse" mode to back up and reduce number of sheets. • Misaligned: Mount the shredder securely to the rim of the waste basket. Do not hold CD/DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding into the shredder. Serious injury may occur.� Never feed more than one credit card or CD/DVD at a time. 1) Hold the CD/DVD by the edge and feed one at a time, releasing when shredding begins. 2) Shredder will stop when the entire disc has been destroyed. Operation �Features a CD/DVD destroyer:

herein will render the manufacturer’s warranty void. �Oil the shredder blades every month with basic vegetable, cooking oil or shredder oil. Follow below outlined oiling procedure (FIGURE 3). It helps to keep the shredder blades operating well over many years of use. Oiling procedure: 1. Turn off shredder. 2. Apply shredder oil across feed slot. 3. Turn shredder in reverse mode for 3~5 seconds. Note: Shredder oil is NOT included. • Do not spray or keep any aerosol products in or around shredder. • DO NOT USE CANNED AIR ON SHREDDER. �Cleaning: •�Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious injury or damage to the product. •�ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SHREDDER BEFORE CLEANING! •�Only clean the shredder by carefully wiping the unit with a dry soft cloth or towel. •�Do not clean or immerse shredder in water. Having the unit wet may result in damage or malfunction to the electrical components. If the shredder happens to get wet, be sure to completely dry the unit immediately with a cloth or towel, before using. ! Caution: Shredder Oil DO�NOT�USE AEROSOL�PRODUCTS! FIGURE 3

Troubleshooting If there is a problem with your shredder, check below for the symptoms and steps to resolve. If you continue to have problems, contact customer support. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR BY OPEN- ING THE SHREDDER HEAD. This will completely render the manufacturer’s warranty void. �The shredder does not work at all. 1)��Make sure the unit is plugged in and that the outlet is in good working order. 2) Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shred continuously beyond the maximum running time and overheated, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder Off for 30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation. 3) Make sure the shredder head is correctly seated onto the included wastebasket, with all the words and icons facing towards you. The head unit is particularly designed to work only with the integrated wastebasket. Crosscut shredders are equipped with a safety interlocking mechanism, which prevents the shredder from working when the head unit is lifted, removed, or accidentally knocked over. The shredder will not function unless the head unit is properly mounted as pictured. (FIGURE 7) 4) Be sure NOT to open the cover beyond the preset position, otherwise the ShredSafe™ feature will be activated and the shredder will be inoperable. The “SHREDDER STATUS” indication line must align with the “READY” setting. 5) If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it. This may cause the shredder not to operate properly. 6) The activation sensor of the shredder is located near the center of the feed slot. Be sure to feed directly into the center area to activate the machine (especially applies to smaller pieces of paper or credit cards). �The shredder runs in “Rev (Reverse)” mode but not in “Auto (On)” mode. While in “Auto” mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted into the feed slot. Cover over tilt Disabled position Ready position FIGURE�7

Auto mode is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper you are inserting is narrow, it may not be activating the optical sensor. It is also possible that the feed slot has become blocked with paper. Insert an index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card or folded file folder), directly in the center of the feed slot, while applying force to help push the jammed paper through. This will usually clear any paper blockage. �How to clear a paper jam in the shredder. 1) Switch the shredder to Reverse (REV) mode. While in Reverse, the shredder will back up and loosen the jammed paper. If required, you may need to tug and remove several sheets to effectively clear the machine. When jammed paper is loosened or removed, switch back to the Auto-On mode to continue shredding. Repeat above steps if needed. 2) With stubborn situations where the reverse function does not help, you may loosen the jammed paper with shredder oil (cooking oil is acceptable, DO NOT USE AEROSOL). Start by drizzling oil into the feed slot where the paper is jammed. Let it soak for about 30 minutes to completely saturate. Return the shredder back to Auto-On mode. If required, an in- dex card or a rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card or folded file fold- er) can be fed into the shredder to help push the jammed paper through. �The shredder is constantly running while in “Auto (On)” mode. 1) It is possible that the activation sensor, which starts the shredder, has become blocked with paper. Insert an index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card or folded file folder), directly in the center of the feed slot, while applying force to help push the jammed paper through. This will usually clear any paper blocking the activation sensor and feed slot. 2)��The activation sensor is being triggered by dust, debris, or oil. A cotton swab may be used to clean the sensor. DO NOT USE CANNED AIR. The activation sensor of the shredder is located around the center of the feed slot.
