Care And Maintenance; Automatic Functions - Elcoman KOBRA +2 Mode D'emploi

Do not insert CDs, DVDs and Credit Cards in the
front slit designed for paper as the cutting blades
for shredding paper are not suited to shredding CDs,
DVDs and Credit Cards.
In order to prevent paper jams caused by too much
paper being inserted at one time it is advisable to
operate the machine at less than full shred capacity.
This will prolong the life of mechanical parts and the
machine itself.
ENERGY SMART Functions: approx. 12 seconds after
shredding is finished, the machine automatically goes
into Energy Saving Mode.
The ENERGY SMART light (B) goes off reducing power
consumption to virtually zero.
This function gives an annual energy saving of around
10 kiloWatts, a reduction of 65kg on Carbon Dioxide
emissions into the atmosphere (the cause of the ozone
hole).
As soon as sheets of paper are inserted into the front
slit, the electronic eyes are activated or the transparent
swinging cover (D) is raised and closed again, all
machine functions are automatically reactivated. The
ENERGY SMART light (B) comes on to indicate that
machine functions have been reactivated.
The transparent swinging cover (D) makes it possible
to check on shredding in progress at any time while
protecting the operator from splinters which could be
produced during shredding of magnetic data support
media.
The Hand Guard Flap (E) serves to provide further
protection for the operator and activate the electronic
eyes but also to guide the sheets of paper, Cds, DVDs
and Credit Cards fed into the shredder.

AUTOMATIC FUNCTIONS

All Kobra +2 and Kobra + 3 models feature the following
automatic functions.
- ELECTRONIC EYES (C) so the shredder starts up
automatically as soon as sheets of paper are inserted
into the slit on the front of the machine;
- TRANSPARENT SWINGING COVER (D) with automatic
cushioned closing. When the cover is raised all electrical
functions are blocked;
Simply close the transparent swinging cover again and
the cutting head will begin a shred cycle and restore all
automatic or manual functions.
- AUTOMATIC STOP when the waste paper bin (2) is
pulled out and/or the transparent swinging cover (D) is
opened;
- MOBILE PROTECTION SYSTEM with dual sensors
which automatically stop the machine as soon as the
transparent swinging cover (D) is raised;
- MOTOR SAVING FUNCTION which stops the machine
working should it overheat;
(If themotor saving function comes on, leave the
machine to cool down for at least 10/15 minutes. The
machine then starts up again automatically).
WARNING: If themotor saving function comes on, the
machine may not be used even if the light (B) is on.
- ENERGY SMART SYSTEM which automatically reduces
the power consumption of the machine to practically
zero when it is on stand-by about 12 seconds after the
end of the last automatic shred cycle.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Kobra+2 and Kobra+3 shredders need no particular
care or maintenance.
However, in the case of Kobra +3, when it appears that
shred capacity is down considerably, it is advisable to
lubricate the cutting rollers by shredding a sheet of
paper with some Kobra lubrificating oil which comes
with the machine.
On Kobra +3 models, when the automatic feeder (F)
appears worn and needs replacing as it no longer
works efficiently, proceed as follows:
- position the button (A) at (0);
- lift the transparent swinging cover (D);
- detach and remove the safety bar (G) and run the
automatic feeder (F) to the right so as to detach the
feeder from its support on the left;
- now you can extract it by lifting it upwards and you
can replace it with a new Automatic Feeder;
- now reverse the steps to replace the Automatic
Feeder (F), making sure to position it correctly and
reattach the safety bar (G).
Fire Hazard.
NEVER use synthetic oil, benzene-based products or
aerosol lubricants of any kind on or near the machine.
