Operating Instructions
- Power On: Locate the power switch on the shredder head and set it to the 'ON' or 'AUTO' position. The shredder is now ready for use.
- Shredding Documents: Insert up to 6 sheets of A4 paper into the paper entry slot. The shredder will automatically start and stop once the paper has passed through.
- Continuous Operation: The shredder has a continuous run time of 3 minutes. After this period, it will require a cool-down period to prevent overheating.
- Anti-Jam Technology: The Momentum X406 features anti-jam technology. If too much paper is inserted, the shredder will automatically reverse to clear the jam. It can also handle small paper clips.
- Security Level: This shredder provides P4 cross-cut security, reducing documents to 4 x 28 mm particles.
- Power Off: When finished shredding, set the power switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug the unit from the power outlet.

Maintenance
- Emptying the Waste Bin: Regularly check and empty the 15-liter waste bin to prevent paper jams and ensure optimal performance. Always unplug the shredder before removing the bin.
- Cleaning:
- Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the shredder with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Shredder Blades: For cross-cut shredders, it is recommended to oil the blades periodically (e.g., every 30 minutes of cumulative shredding or after emptying the bin 2-3 times) using shredder oil sheets or liquid shredder oil applied to a sheet of paper. This helps maintain cutting performance and extends the life of the shredder.
