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:
• 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.
CAUTION
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, newsprint,
bound pages (for example: notepads, checkbooks, magazines, etc.), transparencies, laminated
documents, cardboard, any items with adhesives, hard materials or plastic (except credit cards
and CDs).
• Do not hold CD/DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding into the shredder. Serious
injury may occur.
• 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.
