The sliding switch is located on the top side of the unit and can be set to three (3) positions.

1. AUTO position:The shredding operation starts automatically as soon as the paper to be shredded is inserted in the feed slot. After the shredding operation is complete, the device will automatically deactivate.
2. REV position: Rectifying a paper jam. In this case, the direction of the shredding operation is reversed before the work cycle ends in order to free the shredding blades. Should you determine that too much paper has been inserted and the shredding operation slows noticeably, immediately set the switch to this position, also in the event paper is accidentally inserted.
3. OFF position: In order to empty the wastebasket or in the event the device is not used for a prolonged period of time, set the switch to OFF and disconnect the device from the electrical line in order to avoid the risk of injuries.

The capacity of the document shredder:The Strip-Cut Shredder S5 shreds up to 5 sheets of paper (DIN A4, 80g). The paper width may comprise up to 218 mm. When shredding small paper sizes such as letters or credit card receipts, please insert them into the middle of the shredding slot.

Please ensure that never more than the above-mentioned maximum quantity is inserted in the shredder. Otherwise, the device may sustain damage.

Protection against paper jams and overloading:The Strip-Cut Shredder S5 is equipped with a motor overload guard. To protect the machine well, we suggest the user operate it in this way: work 2 minutes then 60 minutes. Under the following conditions, the current feed to the unit’s motor is interrupted:

1. Continual operation of the shredder with a maximum capacity for a prolonged period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
2. Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding more than 5 sheets of paper (80g) in one operation or in the event the paper is not inserted length-wise into the feed slot.

Under the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic overload guard of the motor is triggered, whereupon the current feed to the device is interrupted. In such a case, please take the following steps:

1. Disconnect the main plug from the AC socket in order to avoid the risk of serious injuries and wait at least 15 minutes until the overload guard has reset. Now tear off the excess paper from the top of the shredder or remove it.
2. Reconnect the main plug to the AC socket and set the switch to the REV position. Pull the remaining paper away from the shredding blades. Afterward, set the switch back to the AUTO position. If necessary, repeat this step.
3. With the switch in the AUTO position and the open feed slot, you may now continue the normal shedding process.
