IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
Read these instructions carefully and retain them for future use. If this product is passed
to a third party, then these instructions must be included.
When using electrical appliances, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the
risk of fire, electric shock, and/or injury to persons including the following:
Do not open lid once shred cycle has started.
• Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the power outlet when not in use,
before cleaning, moving, or emptying the wastebasket.
Risk of fire! Never use any petroleum-based or flammable oils or lubricants in
or around the machine as some oils can combust, causing serious injury.
• Never dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come into contact with flammable
chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone and gasoline) in the shredder basket.
• Never shred large paper clips, window or insulated envelopes, continuous forms, newspaper,
bound pages (for example: notepads, checkbooks, magazines, etc...), transparencies,
laminated documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard materials or plastic (except
credit cards).
• A power outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
• Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up
into the shredder and cause jams.
• Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.
• Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
• Do not attempt to service this product yourself as doing so may expose you to sharp cutting
blades and/or electricity and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
• Never try to clean or clear the shredder blade.
• Never shred beyond the specified sheet capacity. This may result in extensive damage to the
machine.
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
