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 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.

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 (7) is pressed again.

Microfiche and transparecies 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.

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.

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 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:

ALWAYS TURN SHREDDER OFF IF IT WILL BE UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
