Frequently Asked Questions

How long can it run continuously?
It is designed for 2–5 minutes of continuous operation, after which the motor should be allowed to rest.

Usage and Care Tips
Do not exceed 10 sheets per pass; split thicker stacks into smaller batches. Watch the 2–5 minute run time and pause when the overheating light comes on. Empty the bin when the window shows it is nearly full, since an overfull bin can lead to jams, and use the reverse position on the sliding switch to recover a stuck page. Avoid large metal objects, and run the machine on a flat, firm floor, moving it on its 4 wheels. It is covered by a 24-month full warranty.
