- Once shredding is complete, the shredder will stop automatically.
Using the Lockout Key:
The lockout key, indicated in the product title, is a safety feature. When engaged, it prevents the shredder from operating, providing an extra layer of safety, especially around children or when the unit is unattended.

6. Risoluzione Dei Problemi
- Il distruggidocumenti non si accende: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in and the switch is set to AUTO or Avanti. Check if the wastebasket is fully inserted.
- Inceppamento carta: If paper jams, set the switch to RIVISTA to reverse the blades and clear the paper. If necessary, remove the shredder head and manually clear the jam (with caution).
- Indicatore di sovraccarico: If the overload indicator light illuminates, it means too many sheets were inserted. Remove some sheets and try again.
