Installing the Waste Bin
Ensure the integrated 8.7-gallon waste bin is correctly seated within the shredder unit. The shredder will not operate if the bin is not properly inserted.
Power Connection
Plug the power cord into the shredder's power inlet, then plug the other end into a standard electrical outlet (120 V / 60 Hz). The shredder is now ready for operation.
Operating Instructions
Powering On/Off
Locate the power switch, typically on the top or back of the shredder. Set it to the "ON" position to activate the shredder. To turn off, set the switch to "OFF". For extended periods of non-use, unplug the shredder from the wall outlet.
Shredding Documents
Insert paper, staples, or paper clips into the paper entry slot. The shredder will automatically start shredding. Do not exceed the maximum sheet capacity of 9 sheets per pass to prevent jams. For credit cards, insert them one at a time into the designated slot (if separate) or the main paper entry slot.
Continuous Operation
This shredder is designed for continuous operation, allowing for extended shredding sessions without overheating. However, it is always good practice to monitor the shredder's performance and empty the bin when full.
Anti-Jamming Technology
The shredder is equipped with anti-jamming technology. If a paper jam occurs, the shredder may automatically reverse to clear the jam. If it does not clear automatically, switch the shredder to reverse mode (if available) or turn it off, unplug it, and carefully remove the jammed paper.
Quiet Operation
The B22 Micro-Cut Shredder operates quietly, minimizing disruption in office environments. This feature allows for comfortable use even during busy work hours.
Maintenance
Emptying the Waste Bin
Regularly check and empty the 8.7-gallon waste bin to prevent overfilling and potential paper jams. The shredder may stop operating when the bin is full.
Cleaning
Unplug the shredder before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the exterior. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Periodically clean the paper entry area to remove any paper dust or debris.
Oiling the Shredder Blades (Recommended)
To maintain optimal performance and extend the life of your shredder, it is recommended to oil the cutting blades regularly, especially after emptying the waste bin or after heavy use. Use a shredder-specific oil. Apply a thin line of oil across the paper entry slot, then run a few sheets of paper through the shredder to distribute the oil.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Shredder does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power switch off; waste bin not properly inserted; overheating. | Ensure power cord is securely plugged in. Turn power switch to "ON". Re-insert waste bin correctly. Allow shredder to cool down for 30 minutes if it has been used continuously. |
| Paper jam. | Too many sheets inserted; paper not inserted straight; bin is full. | Reduce the number of sheets. Insert paper straight. Empty the waste bin. Use the reverse function to clear the jam. If necessary, unplug and carefully remove paper. |
| Shredder is noisy. | Blades need oiling; foreign object in blades. | Oil the shredder blades as per maintenance instructions. Unplug the shredder and carefully inspect the blades for any foreign objects. |
| Shredder stops during operation. | Waste bin full; overheating; safety sensor triggered. | Empty the waste bin. Allow the shredder to cool down. Check if the bin is properly seated and if any safety sensors are obstructed. |
