1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the NEDIS PASH120BKA4 Paper Shredder. This device is designed to securely dispose of sensitive documents, such as letters, files, invoices, and bank cards, by shredding them into small, unreadable particles.

This manual provides essential information for safe operation, setup, maintenance, and troubleshooting to ensure optimal performance and longevity of your shredder.

5.1. Shredding Paper

1. Ensure the shredder is plugged in and the control switch is set to "AUTO".
2. Insert up to 6 sheets of A4 paper (or equivalent) into the paper entry slot. The shredder will automatically start and shred the paper.

5.2. Shredding Bank Cards

1. Ensure the shredder is plugged in and the control switch is set to "AUTO".
2. Insert one bank card at a time into the designated card entry slot (if separate, otherwise use the main paper slot).

2. Once the paper is clear, move the switch back to "OFF" or "AUTO".
3. If the jam persists, unplug the shredder and carefully remove the paper manually (refer to Troubleshooting).

5.4. Turning Off the Shredder

When you are finished shredding or need to empty the waste bin, move the control switch to the "OFF" position. For extended periods of non-use, it is recommended to unplug the shredder from the power outlet.
