User manual FELLOWES SHREDMATE-2002

[. . . ] Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other hard materials (except staples). · Do not place shredder near or over a heat source or water. · Always turn off and unplug unit before moving or cleaning and when not in use. · Do not insert aerosol cleaners into or around the shredder. [. . . ] Be sure power switch is in OFF position. Plug shredder into proper power supply outlet. When the unit is turned on and in standby mode, the shredder is ready to be fed paper through the paper entry. NEVER insert hands or fingers into paper entry as serious personal injury may result. Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity (see "Product Usage Guide" on front cover of this manual). Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder automatically begins shredding. (if paper is wider than paper entry, fold paper in half before shredding) The shredder automatically stops a few seconds after shredding is complete. Continue shredding as desired to a MAXIMUM shredding time of 3 minutes. At this time, the machine MUST be allowed to "cool down" for a MINIMUM of 5 minutes. (See "Cool-Down Cycle" for more information. ) If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum shredding time, see "Clearing a Jam" section for further instructions. Move power switch to OFF position when shredding is complete. Unplug power cord from outlet whenever shredder is unattended or not in use. If full, remove shredder head and empty basket contents. Replace shredder head onto basket. Cool-Down Cycle This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents the motor from overheating with extensive use. When shredding is attempted beyond the machine's maximum running time, the shredder will automatically shut off its motor until it has cooled to an acceptable operating level. This is normal and the shredder will return to operation after the cool-down or "off" period. See "Product Usage Guide" on front panel for maximum running time and related cooling "off" time. Clearing a Jam If the shredder sheet capacity is exceeded or paper is not put in straight, a jam may result. See "Product Usage Guide" on front panel for maximum sheet capacity for your shredder. Move the power switch to the REVERSE position. (NOTE: If waste basket is full, empty it before clearing jam. ) The shredder will reverse the paper to clear the jam. If the shredder jams in reverse, move the power switch to AUTO and shredder will run for about two seconds. If jam does not clear, move power switch to REVERSE again and allow to run for about three seconds. [. . . ] This warranty gives you specific legal rights.
