Operating Instructions

1. Take a single sheet of A4 paper that you wish to shred.

3. Grasp the hand crank firmly and turn it clockwise. The paper will be drawn into the shredder and cut into strips.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: To clean the exterior of the shredder, use a soft cloth lightly dampened with a small amount of mild detergent and water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners, solvents, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the unit.
• Emptying the Collection Bin: Regularly check the transparent collection bin. When it appears full, carefully remove it and dispose of the shredded paper. A full bin can lead to paper jams and reduced shredding efficiency.

Troubleshooting

• Paper Jam: If paper becomes jammed, try turning the hand crank counter-clockwise to reverse the shredding mechanism and release the paper. If the jam persists, carefully and safely remove the paper from the inlet. Do not force the crank.
• Shredder Not Cutting Effectively: Ensure you are only inserting one sheet of A4 paper at a time. Check if the collection bin is full and empty it if necessary. Overfilling or attempting to shred multiple sheets can reduce cutting performance.
