1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing HSM 1083 Collection Bags. These high-quality plastic bags are specifically designed to fit various HSM document shredder models, ensuring efficient and clean waste disposal. This manual provides essential information for the proper setup, operation, and maintenance of your collection bags.

For optimal performance and to maintain the cleanliness of your workspace, always use genuine HSM collection bags with your HSM document shredder.

2. Setup

Proper installation of the collection bag is crucial for preventing paper dust and shredded material from escaping the shredder's waste bin.

1. Open the Shredder Waste Bin: Locate and open the waste bin or cabinet door of your HSM document shredder. Refer to your shredder's specific manual for instructions on accessing the waste compartment.
2. Unfold the Collection Bag: Carefully unfold one HSM 1083 collection bag.
3. Insert the Bag: Place the unfolded bag into the waste bin. Ensure the bottom of the bag rests flat against the bottom of the bin.
4. Secure the Bag: Fold the top edges of the bag over the rim of the waste bin. Smooth out any creases to ensure a snug fit. Some shredder models may have a bag frame or clips to help secure the bag in place. Ensure the bag does not obstruct any sensors or moving parts.

3. Operation

Using the collection bags is straightforward once installed. The primary operational aspect involves monitoring the bag's fill level and replacing it when full.

1. Shredding Documents: Operate your document shredder as usual. Shredded material will fall directly into the collection bag.
2. Monitoring Fill Level: Many HSM shredders are equipped with a sensor that indicates when the waste bin is full. Pay attention to these indicators. If your shredder does not have a sensor, periodically check the fill level by opening the waste bin.
3. Replacing a Full Bag:
   • Turn off and unplug the shredder for safety.
   • Open the waste bin.
   • Carefully lift the full collection bag out of the bin. If the bag is heavy, lift with care to avoid tearing.
   • Tie the top of the bag securely to prevent shredded material from spilling.
   • Dispose of the full bag according to local waste disposal regulations.
   • Install a new HSM 1083 collection bag as described in the "Setup" section.

4. Maintenance

HSM 1083 collection bags are disposable and require no maintenance themselves. However, proper storage and handling are recommended.

• Storage: Store unused bags in their original packaging in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and sharp objects.
• Handling: Handle bags with care to avoid punctures or tears, especially when full.
• Shredder Bin Cleaning: Periodically wipe down the interior of the shredder's waste bin with a damp cloth to remove any residual paper dust, even when using collection bags. Ensure the bin is completely dry before inserting a new bag.

5. Troubleshooting

Most issues related to collection bags are minor and easily resolved.
