Genie 245CD Mode D'emploi page 12

This document shredder is equipped with a separate shredder for CDs/DVDs and credit
cards. CDs/DVDs are shredded into 3 pieces. Given that such materials always
present the risk of splinters, please keep your face at an acceptable distance
when inserting CDs/DVDs. This is in order to avoid serious injuries. The shredded
material is then collected in a separate tray thereby facilitating its environmentally-
friendly disposal.
Insert credit card:
1. Open the security door on the CD / credit card input opening.
2. Insert the card into the top center of the CD / credit card input opening. You can only
cut up one credit card at the time. Do this always ahead with the broad side into the
CD / credit card input opening. Otherwise, the magnetic strip is not destroyed.
Insert CDs:
1. Insert the CD centrally from above into the CD / credit card input opening. You can
only cut just one CD.
2. Do not insert your finger into the central hole of the disc when you insert it
into the device, there is danger of injury!
Protection against paper jams and overloading:
The 245 CD is equipped with a motor overload guard. The normal work cycle for the
shredding operation takes 2 minutes with a maximum load, after which a prolonged
break must be taken. Under the following conditions, the current feed to the unit's
motor is interrupted:
1. Continual operation of the document shredder with maximum capacity for a
prolonged period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
2. Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding more than 5 sheets of paper (80g)
in one operation or in the event the paper is not inserted length-wise into the feed
slot.
Under the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic overload guard of the motor is
triggered, whereupon the current feed to the device is interrupted. In such a case,
please take the following steps:
1. Disconnect the main plug from the AC socket in order to avoid the risk of
serious injuries and wait at least 15 minutes until the overload guard has reset.
Now tear off excess paper from the top of the shredder or remove it.
2. Reconnect the main plug to the AC socket and set the switch to the REV position.
