How to use

Place the shredder on a stable, level surface and ensure the waste bin is correctly positioned beneath the cutter head. Feed paper or a plastic card into the paper entry slot; the automatic start/stop will activate the cutting rollers. For best results, insert no more than 6 sheets of 80 g/m² paper at once. If material becomes jammed, use the reverse function to eject it. Allow the unit to cool if the overheating protection has shut it off before continuing.

Recommendations

To prolong cutters' life and maintain performance, avoid continuous long runs beyond the recommended capacity and periodically remove staples or clips when possible. Empty the 8 L waste bin regularly and let the machine cool if it stops due to overheating.
