• AVOID GETTING JEWELRY, HAIR OR LOOSE CLOTHING NEAR THE FEED SLOT. If wearing a tie or

• RISK OF FIRE. NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come into contact
with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone, gasoline) in the shredder basket.
• ALWAYS turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning
it, moving it, or emptying the wastebasket.
• ALWAYS keep wastebasket emptied so that the shredder's output is not impeded.
• NEVER use any petroleum based or flammable oils or lubricants in or around the machine as some
oils can combust causing serious injury. Lubricants specifically designed for shredders are acceptable.
• NEVER shred envelopes, labels or anything with glue or any sticky substance as this will lead to
paper jams.
• DO NOT use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
• DO NOT attempt to service this product yourself as doing so may expose you to sharp cutting
blades and/or electricity and will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
• NEVER let the wastebasket get full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up
into the shredder and cause jams.
