The auto-feed feature allows for hands-free shredding of multiple sheets:

1. Asegúrese de que a trituradora estea acendida.
2. Open the auto-feed tray lid located on top of the shredder.
3. Stack up to 300 sheets of paper neatly into the auto-feed chamber. Ensure papers are flat and unfolded.
4. Close the auto-feed tray lid. The shredder will automatically begin feeding and shredding the documents.
5. The shredder will stop automatically once all documents in the auto-feed tray have been processed.

5.2. Manual Feed Shredding

For smaller quantities or specific items, use the manual feed slot:

• Insira ata 7 follas de papel na ranura de alimentación manual.
• Credit cards must be manually inserted one at a time into the designated slot.
• CDs/DVDs can be shredded through a separate slot, also manually.
• The shredder will activate when paper is detected and stop when shredding is complete.

5.3. Lockable Paper Chamber

To secure sensitive documents during auto-feed shredding, utilize the lockable paper chamber:

• Load documents into the auto-feed tray.
• Close the lid and engage the 4-digit programmable PIN code lock. This prevents unauthorized access to documents while they are awaiting shredding.
• The shredder will process the documents once the lock is disengaged or the shredding cycle is complete.

5.4. Waste Bin Management

The shredder features an 11-gallon pull-out waste bin:

• Monitor the waste bin full indicator to know when it needs emptying.
• When full, pull out the waste bin, remove the shredded contents, and replace the bag.
• Ensure the bin is fully reinserted for the shredder to operate.

6. Mantemento

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your shredder:

6.1. Self-Cleaning Cutters

The shredder is equipped with self-cleaning cutters that automatically remove shred build-up. No user intervention is typically required for this feature.

6.2. Oiling the Shredder

To maintain cutting performance and reduce noise, it is recommended to oil the shredder regularly, especially after emptying the waste bin multiple times or after heavy use. Use a shredder-specific oil sheet or liquid shredder oil applied across the manual feed slot.

6.3. Limpeza do exterior

Limpe o exterior da trituradora cun pano suave e seco. Non empregue produtos de limpeza abrasivos nin solventes.

7 Solución de problemas

Consulta os seguintes problemas e solucións comúns:

• Atasco de papel: The shredder features Intelligent Auto+ Jam Clearance, which automatically reverses and re-feeds stuck papers. If a jam persists, turn off the shredder, unplug it, and carefully remove the jammed paper from the feed slot.
