SHREDDING  
Turn shredder on. Insert paper squarely into  
Feed Opening (3). A light barrier will auto-  
matically activate the shredding mechanism.  
Continue feeding paper into the Feed Opening  
until the shredding mechanism begins to  
1. Remove paper from Feed Opening. The REVERSE button (7a) may be used  
if excess paper remains in the Feed Opening. Clear shredding mechanism  
by pressing the FORWARD button (7).  
2. Separate some of the sheets and continue shredding.  
CHANGING THE SHRED BAG  
draw the paper in. At this point, allow the paper  
to feed into the shredder on its own. Once the  
paper has passed completely through the shredding mechanism, the electronic  
controls will automatically stop the machine.  
When the Shred Bag is full, the shredder will automatically shut down. On the  
electronic models an LED indicator will light and an audible alarm will sound.  
Changing the Shred Bag is quick and easy if you follow these simple directions.  
To shred a piece of paper too small to break the light barrier, press the  
FORWARD button (7) once to override the auto ON/OFF function. The shredder  
will continue to run until the FORWARD button is pressed again.  
1. Turn shredder off  
2. Open Door (11) using Door Handle (10) to expose Waste Bin (9) and Shred  
Bag.  
3. Slide Waste Bin and full Shred Bag from shredder.  
4. Dispose of full Shred Bag.  
5. Install new Shred Bag in Waste Bin, draping the edge of the Shred Bag over  
the lip of the Waste Bin.  
Microfiche and transparencies can also be shredded in the same manner as  
paper, however, you should shred a piece of paper after every 8 or 10 sheets of  
plastic. This helps clean plastic particles out of the shredding mechanism.  
6. Slide Waste Bin, with new Shred Bag installed, back into shredder.  
7. Close Door.  
8. Turn on shredder and continue shredding.  
CAPACITY  
Capacity is the number of sheets of 8½” x 11” paper that can be shredded at one  
time. These figures are approximate and machines may vary slightly due to  
various conditions. It is not recommended that you try to run your shredder at  
maximum capacity, as this increases the chance of a paper jam.  
CARING FOR YOUR SHREDDER  
Clean covers with a clean dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Make sure you  
disconnect your shredder from its power source before cleaning.

Paper shredders, like all mechanical equipment, need proper maintenance to  
ensure efficient operation. Periodic lubrication of the cutting blades is important to  
offset the friction generated within the cutting head. Frequency of lubrication will  
vary depending on the shred size and the amount of usage. A strip-cut shredder  
receiving light use (1 – 2 hours per week) will require lubrication only once or  
twice a month, while the same machine used 1 – 2 hours per day will require  
lubrication weekly. A cross-cut shredder should be lubricated every ½ hour of  
shredding time to maintain maximum capacity and efficiency.  
CLEARING A PAPER JAM  
If too many sheets of paper are fed into your shredder at one time, it may cause a  
paper jam. Running your shredder at maximum capacity increases the chance of  
a paper jam. If a paper jam occurs, it is easy to clear by following these simple  
steps:  
The procedure for lubricating your shredder is simple, and can be performed by  
any operator. The oil is packaged in a squeeze bottle and is applied directly to the  
cutting blades through the feed opening (3). Run a fine stream of lubricant from  
one side of the feed opening to the other. Run the shredder in REVERSE for a  
few seconds to help distribute the lubricant evenly. You can now continue  
shredding as usual.  
The Auto-Reverse feature, built into the electronic versions of DAHLE High  
Capacity Shredders, helps prevent paper jams. If the Auto-Reverse feature is  
activated an audible alarm sounds and the Paper Jam Indicator (6) lights up. If  
this situation occurs, follow these simple steps:  
IF ANY OTHER PROBLEMS OCCUR. CALL YOUR AUTHORIZED DAHLE SERVICE DEALER  
ALWAYS TURN SHREDDER OFF IF IT WILL BE UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
