Set-Up
Product Profile
This shredder will only operate when used with the supplied basket. The supplied basket
has a built-in safety feature which prevents the shredder from operating if used with any
other basket or if improperly assembled.
This product is built to shred paper, staples, small paper clips,
credit cards, CDs and DVDs. It is not built to take large paper
clips, continuous forms, adhesive labels, transparencies, newspa-
per, cardboard or any plastic other than credit cards. Using it for
these purposes is likely to cause irreparable damage.
•Position shredder head (6) over cabinet (2). Place shredder head on top of cabinet as
shown in Figure A.
•Firmly push down on four corners of shredder head to “lock” shredder head into position.
•Push basket (3) into shredder cabinet as shown in Figure B. Basket must be pushed firmly,
so edges of basket/cabinet are aligned properly.

Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (8). This
means that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will
start running when paper is fed into it. The shredder stops a few seconds after the paper
has passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and
other objects, this feature can be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid
accidents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will
not be used for an extended period.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
PAPER
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
•Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see
Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
•Shred for no more than 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off
for 30 minutes to cool down.
•Press control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped. With confetti-cut shred-
der, cutting continues for several seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear
shredded paper from cutting cylinders.
While setting up shredder
•Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal
due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.
•If the cord is damaged do not replace cord or use the machine. Return machine for a
replacement.
•Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of PS80C-2 confetti-cut shredder head.
•Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached.
CDs and DVDs
•Hold CD or DVD at the edge and feed one at a time, straight into CD entry (10),
releasing when shredding begins. Shredder will stop when CD has passed through
entry. CDs will be shredded into small particles.
•Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source.
While operating shredder
•Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing,
CAUTION: Do not hold CD or DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding

into shredder.
•Keep children and pets away from the shredder.
In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the sheet capacity is exceeded or if paper is
not put in straight, turn off and empty the basket if full. Then:
When not in use
•Always turn off and unplug shredder
1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of
shredder.

•Do not open shredder head: Danger of electric shock.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and
attempt to continue shredding operation.
NOTE: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products
or aerosols of any kind on or near product at any time.
3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and auto-
matic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.
If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;
remove wastebasket from the cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below
the cutting cylinders; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing procedure.
