Setup:

1. The 112MX shredder should be placed on a flat level surface.
2. To install the casters, carefully lay the shredder on its back. Place the long post of each caster inside the hole located in each corner on the bottom of the shredder. Push each caster into place until you hear or feel it snap and lock in place. Place the shredder in an upright position. Make sure that the shredder stands evenly and that all four casters fit squarely on the floor.
3. Place the shredder head securely on top of the wastebasket.
4. Make sure that the wastebasket is completely inserted into the shredder cabinet and that it fits flush with the shredder cabinet.
5. Plug the power cord into any standard 115-volt AC outlet.
6. Place the slide switch in the auto position. The ready LED should light up. You are now ready to start shredding

Operating the shredder:

With the electrical cord plugged in, the slide switch in the auto position, and the shredder wastebasket properly in place, the ready LED will light up. This means that the shredder is now ready for operation. When the paper is inserted into the feed opening, the shredding process will start automatically and stop when the paper has completed its travel through the feed opening. The Royal 112MX slide switch is located on the top of the shredder. Also located on top of the shredder is the ready LED. Their purpose of the slide switch is:

1. When the slide switch is in the auto position, the shredding process will start when paper is inserted into the feed opening and will continue until it has completely passed through the feed opening.
2. The rev position on the slide switch is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam, which reverses the shredding process prior to a completed forward cycle, thus clearing the cutters. When switching from auto to rev, always stop momentarily to prevent possible damage to the motor.
3. The off (O) position is used to terminate the AC power to the shredder. It is recommended to turn the shredder off when the shredder is not being used for a prolonged period of time.
4. When the ready LED is lit, it lets the user know that the wastebasket is inserted correctly and that the shredder is turned on and ready for use. If the ready LED does not light up, make sure that the plug is plugged in, the basket is inserted correctly, and the slide switch is in the auto position.

Shredder capacity:

The Royal 112MX will shred up to twelve (12) sheets of 20-lb. bond paper and will accept paper widths up to 8 3/4”. When shredding small material like envelopes or receipts, insert them through the middle of the feed opening. Credit Cards should be inserted one at a time into the Credit Card slot for shredding. CDs and DVDs should only be inserted into the CD slot for shredding. Shredding CDs and DVDs in the paper feed opening will damage the cutter assembly.

Cautions:

1. Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewelry, hair, or other small items away from the feed opening to prevent injury.
2. Keep the shredder turned off or unplugged when not in use for prolonged periods of time.
3. The Royal 112MX will cut staples, small paper clips, and credit cards; however, proper discretion is recommended.
4. Do not place hands or fingers into the shredder throat as serious injury could result.
5. When manually changing feed direction, pause long enough for the motor to stop.
6. Continuous shredding of computer paper should not exceed 2 minutes. If continuous use is required at the maximum sheet capacity (12 sheets), it is recommended that shredding time should be 2 minutes on and 25 minutes off to allow for proper cooling of the motor.
7. Always turn off or unplug the shredder before moving, cleaning, or emptying the wastebasket.
8. Empty wastebasket frequently.
9. Never allow children to shred or play with or around a paper shredder, or else serious injury could occur.

Paper jams and motor overload situations:

The Royal 112MX is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit. The 112MX will automatically terminate power in case of the following abnormal situations:

1. Operating the shredder at the maximum 12-sheet capacity continuously for a prolonged period of time,g. more than 2 minutes without stopping.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg, inserting more than twelve (12) sheets of 20-lb. Paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.

Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic thermal motor overload protection circuit, which terminates the power to the shredder. A paper jam could cause the thermal motor overload protection to terminate AC power to the motor. Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition with the AC power turned on. If this occurs, you should:

In case of a minor paper jam:

1. Place the slide switch in the rev position and pull the remaining sheets of paper out of the feed opening. Remove the unshredded portion of paper from the top and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening. Be sure to keep
   fingers and any personal effects away from the throat of the feed opening while the shredder cutters are in motion.

In case of a major paper jam:

1. Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 25 minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Plug in the AC power cord and place the switch in the auto position. If paper was left inside the feed opening before the overload, place the slide switch in the rev position and grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out. Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening, or serious harm could result. Clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
3. Place the slide in the auto position. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
