12-sheet Crosscut Paper Shredder

Do not spray or keep any aerosol products in or around shredder.

Avoid loose clothing or jewelry touching the document feed opening.

Avoid getting your hair near the document feed opening.

RISK OF FIRE. Never use any petroleum based or flammable oils or lubricants in or around the

machine as some oils can combust causing serious injury.

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.

Never shred plastic (except credit cards and CDs), any hard materials, continuous forms,

newsprint, or anything with adhesives including labels and envelopes.

Do not hold a CD/DVD with your finger through the center ring while feeding it into the

shredder. Serious injury may occur.

Do not activate the reverse function while shredding credit cards and CDs.

Plug the shredder into a nearby, easily accessible power outlet.

Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning it,

moving it, or emptying the wastebasket.

Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up

into the shredder and cause jams.

Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.

10 Keep the wastebasket emptied so that the shredder output is not impeded.

11 Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.

12 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 manufacturers warranty.

13 Never try to clean or clear the shredder blade.

14 Never shred beyond the specified sheet capacity. May result in extensive damage to the

machine.

Setting up the shredder

Warning: Crosscut shredders have very sharp exposed blades on the underside. Use care

when mounting the shredder on the wastebasket.

Caution: The shredder should not be plugged in during assembly.

Note: The following illustrations are for information purposes only. Your actual shredder may

look somewhat different than the shredder shown.

To set up the shredder:

Carefully lift and remove the shredder head from the wastebasket.

12-sheet Crosscut Paper Shredder

Slide the wastebasket out of the shredder body.

DX-PS12CC

Using the handle on the shredder head, lift and gently place the shredder head onto the rim of

the shredder body. Make certain the clips on the edge of the body are lined up with the

openings underneath the shredder head. The curved flap-like shape located on the back of the

shredder head should also align and fit properly as shown.

When aligned, gently push down on the shredder head until it sits flush on the shredder body.

(There should be no space between the shredder head and the shredder body.)

To use the shredder:

Caution:

•

Do not overfeed the shredder: Shredding beyond the specified sheet capacity can

result in extensive damage to the shredder. Overfeeding will strain the machine and

quickly wear and break the cutting blades and internal components.

•

Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shred

continuously beyond the maximum running time and overheats, the unit will

automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder Off for 30 minutes or

longer before resuming normal operation.

DX-PS12CC

To begin shredding, locate the switch on the shredder (on the top, at the right rear corner) and

select the “Auto” mode. The Green Power LED indicates the shredder is On and ready to use.

Position Setting

Indicates

AUTO/ON This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting paper into the

shred opening. Always feed the paper in as straight as possible. When the paper has

passed through, the shredder will automatically stop.

OFF

This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend that

you leave the shredder in the "Off" position whenever the shredder is unattended or not

in use.

REV

In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear the

(Reverse) cutters of paper that has not passed through. Never attempt to clear a jam by using the

reverse function until you have emptied the wastebasket.

READY

The green LED light indicates the shredder is “On” and ready for use.

Press the designated “push open” area on the handle of the cover (on top) to tilt open and

expose the paper feed slot. The cover will click into a preset position for safe shredding.* With

the feed slot now open, you can shred sheets of paper or one credit card per pass.

*Be sure not to tilt open the cover completely beyond the preset position, otherwise the

ShredSafe™ power cut off feature will be activated and the shredder will be inoperable.

When shredding is completed, you can press the designated “push close” area on the cover (on

top) to tilt shut the paper feed slot. We recommend that you close the paper feed slot when the

shredder is not in use. This will prevent any objects from getting into the feed slot and being

accidentally shredded.

To use the shredder for CDs or credit cards:

Warning: Do not hold a CD/DVD with your finger through the center ring while feeding it

into the shredder. Serious injury may occur.

12-sheet Crosscut Paper Shredder

Caution:

•

Never feed more than one credit card or CD/DVD at a time.

•

Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically into the middle of the entry,

releasing when shredding begins. Never feed more than one credit card at a time.

•

Do not activate the reverse function while shredding credit cards or CDs/DVDs.

• Hold the CD/DVD by the edge and feed one at a time, releasing when shredding begins. The

shredder will stop when the entire disc has been destroyed.

Caution:

•

Never shred large paper clips, window or insulated envelopes, continuous forms,

newsprint, transparencies, laminated documents, cardboard, any items with

adhesives, hard materials, or plastic (except Credit Cards and CDs/DVDs).

•

This shredder will shred staples and small paperclips. It is recommended that you

remove paper clips whenever possible to extend the lifespan of your shredder.

Maintaining

Caution: Failure to properly maintain your shredder will void the warranty.

• Crosscut shredders require regular oil lubrication for optimal performance and extended

lifespan. We recommend you oil your shredder once a month. To lubricate your shredder,

drizzle some basic vegetable or cooking oil (nothing flammable or petroleum based) onto a

few sheets of paper and feed it into the shredder.

• Do not spray or keep any aerosol products in or around shredder.

• DO NOT USE CANNED AIR ON THE SHREDDER.

• Be sure to periodically empty the wastebasket to avoid overloading and damaging the cutting

mechanism.

To clean the shredder:

• ALWAYS UNPLUG THE SHREDDER BEFORE CLEANING!

• Only clean the shredder by carefully wiping the unit with a dry soft cloth or towel.

• Do not clean or immerse the shredder in water. Having the unit wet may result in damage or

malfunction to the electrical components. If the shredder happens to get wet, be sure to

completely dry the unit immediately with a cloth or towel.

• Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious injury or

damage to the product.

Troubleshooting

Possible Solutions

in good working order.

• Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shred

continuously beyond the maximum running time and has overheated, the

shredder will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder off for

30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.

• Be sure not to tilt the cover completely open beyond the preset position,

otherwise the ShredSafe™ power cut off feature will be activated and the

shredder will be inoperable.

• Shredders with pull-out wastebaskets feature a safety power cut off upon bin

removal. The shredder will not function unless the pull-out wastebasket is

pushed in all the way and properly set back into place.

• If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, remove it. The bag may be the

cause of the shredder not operating properly.

• The activation sensor of the shredder is located near the center of the feed slot.

Be sure to feed directly into the center area to trigger the machine (especially

applies to smaller pieces of paper or credit cards).

The shredder runs in "Rev"

mode but not in "Auto" mode.

• While in "Auto" mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted

into the feed slot. Set the unit to "Auto" and insert the paper to be shredded. It is

normal for the motor to run for a moment after setting it to "Auto" but it should

stop until paper is inserted. The sensor that activates the shredder in Auto mode

is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper you are inserting is narrow,

it may not be hitting the switch. It is possible that the trigger, which activates the

shredder, has become blocked with paper. Insert an index card, directly in the

center of the feed slot, and apply force. This will usually clear any paper blocking

the switch and force the switch closed.

There is a paper jam in the

shredder.

• Switch the shredder over into Reverse (REV) mode. While in Reverse, the

shredder will back up and loosen the jammed paper. If required, you may need to

tug and remove several sheets to effectively clear the machine. When jammed

paper is loosened or removed, switch back to the Auto-On mode to continue

shredding. Repeat steps if needed.

• With stubborn situations where the reverse function does not help, you may

loosen the jammed paper with shredder oil (cooking oil is acceptable, nothing

aerosol). Start by drizzling oil into the blades where the paper is jammed. Let it

soak for about 30 minutes to completely saturate. Return the shredder back to

Auto-On mode. If required, a rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card, folded

file folder, or a sheet torn from a cereal box) can be fed into the shredder to help

push the jammed paper through.
