Operation Manual

Clearing a jam
If too much paper is inserted in the cutting unit, it will cause a jam.
Proceed as follows:
- Push the sliding switch to the Paper Rev /CD position.
- The cutting unit runs backwards and pushes the excess paper back.
- Reduce the quantity and slide the switch to Paper Auto / CD again. The cutting unit runs
forward again and the residue remaining is shredded.
If the backwards and forwards movement does not remedy the jam, pull out the mains plug
and remove the remaining manually from the cutting unit.
Motor protection
The motor switches off automatically in the event of overloading. Pull out the mains plug
from the socket and allow the motor to cool down to room temperature. Plug the mains
cable back in and then continue operation.
Notes on care and maintenance
Caution: maintenance work may only be performed when the mains plug is pulled out.
To ensure your shredder enjoys a long working life, we recommend to clear residual material
from the cutting units at regular intervals and apply
special oil for paper shredders to the
cutting unit. This special oil is available from specialist dealers or directly from our service centre
in Hattingen. This will extend the service life of the device.
