Setup - Fixed basket model  
Identity Theft Protection Tips for Consumers  
How can you prevent becoming a victim of identity theft? While no one can totally prevent this crime  
from occurring, here are some positive steps to take which will decrease your risk.  
Mount the shredder securely to the rim of the basket. Connect the power cord to  
any standard 120 volt AC outlet.  
1. Carefully destroy papers you throw out. Be especially careful with those containing  
sensitive or identifying information. Use your shredder for destroying documents.  
Note: Some shredders include a built-in safety mechanism that requires the shredder to be  
correctly mounted on the supplied wastebasket. Lining the wastebasket with a plastic bag will  
interfere and may keep the shredder from functioning properly.  
2. Check your credit reports at least once a year.  
3. Always guard your Social Security Number (SSN). Don't carry your Social Security Card  
with you.  
Caution: All shredders have very sharp, exposed blades on the underside. Please use care when  
mounting the shredder on to the wastebasket.  
4. Do not put your SSN or driver's license number on your personal checks.  
5. Guard all of your personal information. Never give your SSN to anyone unless they  
have a good reason for needing it.

How to Maintain your Shredder  
Use Shredder Lubricant Regularly  
How to Maintain your Shredder  
Clearing a Jam  
If paper is not inserted properly into the shredder, or if the sheet capacity is exceeded, a jam may  
result. The shredder will automatically stop until the jam is cleared. Move the switch to the REVERSE  
(REV) position, and remove the excess paper from the top and pull it out.  
TO PREVENT ANY INJURIES, DO NOT PLACE YOUR HANDS NEAR THE FEED OPENING.  
Once the paper is cleared, normal shredding operation can resume. If the shredder jams while in  
reverse, press the switch to the FWD position and let shredder run to clear the jammed paper. If jam  
does not clear, slide the switch back and forth between the REV and FWD until the jam is cleared. If  
the jam cannot be cleared following this procedure, unplug the unit and carefully remove the  
jammed paper manually.  
• Only use lubricants specifically designed for your shredder, such as shredder lubricant,  
shredder lubricant sheets or shredder lubrication pouches.  
• NEVER use spray lubricants.  
• Follow directions on the shredder lubricant, shredder lubricant sheets or shredder  
lubrication pouches.  
• Do not touch the cutting surface.  
• Continue to recycle waste paper in a normal manner.  
When Using Shredder Lubricant Sheets or Pouch  
Staples and Paperclips  
Never tear or open a shredder lubricant sheet. Please, empty waste basket prior to use. Shred one  
shredder lubricant sheet by feeding sheet in the direction on the arrows, directly into the paper  
feed entrance as per the instructions that came with your shredder. After shredding the lubricant  
sheet run the shredder in reverse for 10 seconds for optimal performance. Align the first lubricant  
sheet to the left of the shredder throat. The next time you use a shredder lubricant sheet align the  
pouch to the right of the shredder throat. Continue to alternate between aligning the pouches to  
the left and right to ensure the entire cutting mechanism remains well lubricated. Re-lubricate  
your shredder by shredding a lubrication sheet after 30 minutes of shredding, or, a minimum of  
twice per month to maintain maximum performance.  
Shredders are designed primarily to shred paper and single credit cards or CDs (as indicated).  
Although our shredders are safe to shred the occasional standard staple, you should remove them if  
possible. Also, industrial or non-standard, large size staples must be removed. Paperclips should not be  
shredded at any time, as they significantly reduce the life of the shredder. Please remove staples and  
paperclips from paper before shredding.  
When Using Bottled Shredder Lubricant  
Apply shredder lubricant directly into the paper feed entrance (Figure 2) and shred paper or  
apply a stripe of lubricant across a sheet of paper (Figure 3), then shred the paper as per the  
instructions that came with your shredder. After applying lubricant and shredding paper, run  
the shredder in reverse for 10 seconds for optimal performance. Reapply lubricant after  
30 minutes of shredding or a minimum of twice per month to maintain maximum performance.  
Store in a cool dry place. Recycle empty bottle whenever possible or dispose of it in normal trash.

Warnings  
CAUTION: KEEP THIS DEVICE AWAY FROM CHILDREN AND PETS! Place the paper shredder in an  
area less accessible to children.  
DO NOT PLACE FINGERS TOO CLOSE TO THE FEED SLOT AS SERIOUS INJURY MAY OCCUR.  
Paper shredders can pull children's fingers into the shredder mechanism.  
AVOID GETTING JEWELRY, HAIR OR LOOSE CLOTHING NEAR THE FEED SLOT. If wearing a tie or  
long necklace, use caution to keep items away from the shredder opening.  
Connect the cord to any standard 120 volt AC outlet.  
RISK OF FIRE. NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come into contact  
with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone, gasoline) in the shredder basket.  
ALWAYS turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning  
it, moving it, or emptying the wastebasket.  
NEVER place the shredder near water or any heat source.  
ALWAYS keep wastebasket emptied so that the shredder's output is not impeded.  
NEVER use any petroleum based or flammable oils or lubricants in or around the machine as some  
oils can combust causing serious injury. Lubricants specifically designed for shredders are acceptable.  
NEVER spray any aerosol-based products in or around the shredder.  
NEVER shred envelopes, labels or anything with glue or any sticky substance as this will lead to  
paper jams.  
AVOID shredding paperclips.  
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 let the wastebasket get full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up  
into the shredder and cause jams.
