OPERATION
POWER ON
FIGURE 3. Press the button to Power On. The
green light will illuminate when ready to operate.
You are now ready to shred!
NOTE: This shredder is for paper shredding
only. Due to the sensitive cutting mechanism
you cannot shred staples, paperclips, PVC etc.
(Applies to Model 3890D only).
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.
CD/DVD
To destroy a compact disc or dvd (straight-cut
models only), insert the media into the center of the
throat area. Once your media has activated the
automatic on switch, the unit will start and then will
stop once your media is shredded.
BIN FULL
FIGURE 4. In order to prevent shreds from backing
up into the cutters and jamming your shredder, this
unit features an automatic bin full shut off. Once the
shred bin is full, the unit will shut off automatically
and the bin full light (E) will illuminate. You can now
compact the shreds and continue shredding, or empty
the shred bin.
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 turned off and then back
on.
DOOR AJAR
Your shredder is equipped with a safety interlock
which will not allow the unit to operate if the cabinet
door is open. The Door Ajar light (D) will illuminate if
the cabinet door is not fully closed.
OVERLOAD (Reverse)
If too much paper is inserted into the throat of the
unit, the shredder will sense an overload and reverse
automatically to avoid unnecessary motor heating. To
clear the overload, switch the unit to Reverse mode
until the paper is clear of the throat area. You can now
separate your pages into smaller sets and continue to
shred.
