IMPORTANT NOTES  
9. Do not alter or deface the shredder or shredder housing in any way. Do not  
attempt to service the shredder yourself. Opening and/or removing covers  
could expose you to dangerous voltage points and/or other serious risks.  
These actions will also void your warranty.  
If the paper is wider than the feed entry and is folded to fit, the paper thickness  
increases and may exceed the recommended capacity.  
If the basket is not pushed in all the way the shredder will not operate.  
If the cycle time is exceeded the shredder will automatically shut down until it is  
safe to resume shredding. Cycle time:30 minutes.  
10. Always unplug the shredder from the wall outlet before cleaning. Clean the  
outside of the shredder with a damp cloth only. Do Not immerse in water or  
use household cleaners, lubricants, or alcohol on or near the shredder. Never  
use any type of compressed air aerosols, or any product marked flammable to  
clean the shredder. Some agents may combust causing serious injury. Using  
a vacuum to suck excess debris from the throat or blades is acceptable.  
If the shredder is over loaded and jammed, a red light will flash and the shredder  
will automatically reverse to pull the paper back out. Reduce the amount of  
paper and feed it through again.  
Do not shred envelopes, labels or paper with labels affixed to them. This will  
gum up the cutting blades, cause the shredder to malfunction, and void your  
warranty.  
11. Do not remove any warning stickers or labels from the shredder.  
Please observe all printed precautions and warnings.  
12. Only operate the shredder from a power source indicated onthe marking  
label. If you are unsure of the power source, consult your dealer or local
