Operating elements
The switch (REV / OFF / AUTO) on the device has the following
functions.
AUTO position: the device is ready for operation.
The device has a microswitch:
shredding starts as soon as paper in inserted in the infeed slot.
OFF position: the device is switched off.
REV position: the cutting unit runs in reverse. To hold the rest of the paper back, you
can push the sliding switch in the REV position. The cutting unit runs backwards and
pushes the paper back.
Materials suitable for destruction
Only use the PS 12 paper shredder to shred paper. The paper must be dry and must
correspond to the specifications listed in the technical data. Shredding other materials
can lead to injuries (for example, if solid material splinters) or damage to the device
(destruction of the cutting unit, etc.).
Do not shred endless paper documents with this device. Remove all paper clips and
staples before feeding paper into the device.
Take the device carefully out of the packaging and place it on the paper collection
-
basket.
Plug the mains cable into the socket. Please observe the energy supply specificati-
-
ons on the back of the device in your safety measures.
The socket and the mains connection of the device must be freely accessible for
-
safety reasons so that the power supply can be disconnected in emergencies.
Switch the device on with the switch (AUTO position).
-
Feed the paper to the cutting unit through the infeed slot.
-
The device runs forwards and draws the paper in.
-
The device switches off automatically after the shredding cycle. The motor carries on
-
running for another 2-3 seconds to remove the remaining paper from the cutting unit.
Caution: the sheet capacity given in the technical data may not be exceeded as oth-
erwise a paper jam will occur. Remember that the thickness of the paper increases
when it is folded and the recommended sheet capacity may be exceeded in this way.
Reduce the quantity of paper fed if it is coarse fibre paper.
it is recommended not to fill the paper collection basket up to the cutting unit. This
prevents cut material becoming jammed in the cutting unit.
Empty the paper collection basket at regular intervals.
Starting up
Paper supply
Remedying a paper jam
If too much paper is fed into the cutting unit, a paper jam occurs.
Proceed as follows:
Push the switch to the REV position.
-
The cutting unit runs backwards and pushes the excess paper back.
-
Reduce the paper quantity and slide the switch to AUTO again. The cutting unit runs
-
forward again and the paper still in the cutting unit is shredded.
If the backwards and forwards movement does not remedy the paper jam, pull out the
mains plug and remove the remaining paper manually from the cutting unit.
Motor protection
The motor switches off automatically in the event of overloading. Pull out the mains
plug from the socket and allow the motor to cool down to room temperature. Plug the
mains cable back in and then continue operation.
Notes on care and maintenance
Caution: maintenance work may only be performed when the mains plug is pulled
out.
For you to be able to continue using your paper shredder for as long as possible, clear
residual paper from the cutting unit at regular intervals and apply special oil for paper
shredders to the cutting unit. This special oil is available from specialist dealers or di-
rectly from our service centre in Hattingen. This will extend the service life of the device.
