It is not built to take paper clips, continuous forms,   adhesive labels, transparencies, newspaper, cardboard or any   plastic (except credit cards). Using it for these purposes is likely to   cause irreparable damage.   Confetti Cut   Sheet Capacity*   Paper shred size   Maximum paper width   Maximum running time   Automatic cool-down period   7 sheets   5/32 x 1-3/4"   9"   2 minutes   4 minutes   *Based on 20 lb., 8-1/2" x 11" paper with shredder operating at rated voltage; heavier paper, high humidity or other   than rated voltage may reduce maximum sheet capacity.   IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS   READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING   While setting up shredder   • Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal   due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.   • Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of confetti-cut shredder head.   • Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached.   • Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source.   While operating shredder   • Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing,   long hair, etc.) away from paper entry   • Keep children and pets away from shredder.   When not in use   • Always turn off and unplug shredder   • Unplug before emptying basket   • Do not open shredder head: Danger of electric shock   NOTE: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-   based products or aerosols of any kind on or near product at any time.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

Shredder will stop when credit card has passed through the entry.   In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified   capabilities, press the control switch to the off (0) position and empty the basket if full. Then:   1) Slide control switch in reverse (R) position and attempt to back paper out of shredder.   2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, slide control switch to automatic (I) position and   attempt to continue shredding operation.   3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse (R) and   automatic (I) positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.   If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;   remove shredder head from the wastebasket and carefully remove any paper extending   below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; reassemble the shredder and repeat   jam clearing procedure.   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
