How to use

Place the shredder on a stable surface near a power outlet and ensure the pull-out waste container is correctly inserted. Switch on the unit; the integrated sensor will start the cutting mechanism automatically when paper is fed. For CDs, DVDs or cards, use the separate collection slot. If a paper jam occurs, use the manual reverse/feed control or the automatic reverse function to clear excess paper. Monitor the optical waste level indicator and empty the pull-out container when full. Allow the unit to cool down if the overheating indicator activates.

Recommendations

The unit is intended for desk-side use in small offices or home offices. To maintain performance, avoid overfeeding beyond the recommended capacity and do not attempt to shred materials not specified by the manufacturer. Use the separate compartment for discs and cards to keep recycling streams separate and empty the waste container regularly to ensure safe shredding of sensitive data.
