This machine has been supplied with a power cord and male plug for 30 amp service.
The male plug is a NEMA # L5-30P and requires a female connection as noted below, to be installed by
the customer.
Ref: NEMA # L5-30R.
FOR 220 VOLT/1-Phase/50HZ/1 HP
Note to Installer:
This machine has been supplied with a power cord for 20 amp service.
Note: Any oversea shipments at 220 Volt/1-Phase/50HZ must supply their own plug unless otherwise
specified at time of the order.
FOR 220 VOLT /1-Phase/50HZ/1 HP with 2 power cords
This machine has been supplied with two separate power cords for 13 Amp service. Be sure that both
cords are plugged into dedicated outlets.
Alternative Options:
• Replace plug with customer supplied substitute while maintaining proper amperage ratings. This
must be done by a licensed electrician while observing local electrical codes.
• This machine can be hardwired to a safety disconnect for permanent installations. This must be
done by a licensed electrician while observing local electrical codes.
4.2 Resetting Overloads
In the event of a voltage or amperage spike, one or both of the overloads on the electrical panel will trip
in order to prevent damage to the unit. This will cause the unit to shut down immediately, on both
single and double power cord units.
• De-energize the unit using proper LOTO procedures.
• Open the electrical panel cover on the back of the unit on the vacuum side. Requires Philips
head screwdriver, 5/32” or 9/64” Allen wrench.
• Reset any tripped overloads or safety disconnects. Tripped overload will point sideways.
• Plug in the unit to test if it is on and replace the electrical panel cover.

5 – Operation
Please read this section carefully. Most problems occur during the first hours of operation. Most
problems can be eliminated by careful review of the operating, maintenance, and recommended service
instructions.
Product destruction rate depends on the material, size of media, and the desired particle size. All units
are equipped with timed shutdown to help prevent jamming of the disintegrator. When Selector Switch
is in the OFF DELAY position, the disintegrator will run for an additional three to five minutes to clear
the chamber. This will help to prevent jams that would require some disassembly to gain access to the
cutting chamber.
5.1 Start-Up Procedure
NOTE: The cutting chamber cabinet is equipped with safety switches that will immediately shutdown
the machine when either the door is opened or the feed mechanism is removed to prevent injury. Both
doors should remain closed while the machine is in operation. Do NOT use the door switch as a method
of shutting down the machine, as jams and possible injury can occur. Always use the selector switch to
initiate a timed shutdown and avoid jamming.
Pre-start-up:
ü Familiarize yourself with all controls and button locations.
ü Ensure that all guards and covers are in place.
ü Ensure the area is clean.
ü Check the vacuum capacity and install a new waste bag if necessary.
Start–up:
1. Plug the machine into an appropriate receptacle.
2. Make certain that the cabinet doors are closed. Safety switches will prevent startup if
either door is open.
3. Pull top-feed door toward the front of the machine until it reaches a stop.
4. Turn green selector switch to START. It will pop over to ON after turning to START.
5. Listen for machine to engage.
5.2 Shutdown Procedure
To shut down the machine, wait 60 seconds after the last piece of media is fed despite its listed
feed rate, then turn the selector switch to the OFF position. This will initiate a timed shutdown.
The machine will continue to run for three minutes, while the cutting chamber, hopper, and
evacuation line are cleared of any partially destroyed material.

5.3 Clearing a Jam
Important: In case of emergency or overfeeding, opening the front door of the disintegrator cabinet will
disengage a safety limit switch and immediately shut down the machine. This procedure should be
reserved for emergency situations only. Bypassing the timed shutdown can result in a jam.
To clear a jammed or locked rotor:
1. Make sure selector switch is in OFF position.
2. De-energize machine using proper LOTO procedures.
3. Open front door of disintegrator cabinet.
4. Remove plate on front hopper to access the cutting area.
5. Remove loose product (SEM recommends wearing cut resistant gloves).
6. Rotate rotor toward the rear of the machine (using the drive belt) to free its movement.
Note: Make sure that the rotor can make two full rotations. Otherwise, the machine is still
considered jammed and will still have material in the chamber.
Hopper access panel
To restart:
1. Re-secure plate on front hopper.
2. Connect to power.
3. If necessary, reset overload switch or circuit breaker (located in electrical panel on rear of
machine).
4. Close main door.
5. Turn selector switch to START position.
NOTE: Repetitive jams also can be a result of knives that require sharpening. If machine has no power,
reset circuit breakers and overload on electrical panel.

6 - Feeding Information
6.1 Overview
• Before introducing any material into the feed slot, the machine and vacuum must be turned on
and operating. The material collection vacuum must be checked periodically and emptied for
continued operation.
• New Operators: New operators should be given a minimum two hour break-in/training period
when starting to use this machine.
• When destruction is complete, allow the unit to operate for 60 seconds after the last piece of
material is destroyed before initiating the three minute timed shutdown. This will prevent build
up in the cutting area and evacuation line, ensuring proper operation for the next user.
• Vacuum collection bags must be periodically changed for proper operation. The Vac Full light
will illuminate when vacuum pressure drops, indicating that the bag is full. DO NOT INSERT ANY
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL. Wait 60 seconds from last fed piece and initiate timed shutdown.
Bypassing timed shutdown at any point may cause a jam on start up.
• In the event of a voltage spike, no matter the cause, on both single and double cord machines,
one or both overloads will trip and the machine will shut down. Open the electrical panel and
reset the overloads. See sections 2.2 and 2.3 for locations.
• Vac Full: Do not shut down the machine when the vac full light comes on. Wait 60 seconds and
initiate timed shutdown before changing bag.
Note: For optimal sound reduction after inserting media or other materials, close feed drawer.
Destruction rates can vary depending on the screen size selected.
Feeding: See feed rate chart in section 6.3
1. Connect power to the machine.
2. Turn selector switch to START.
3. Listen for vacuum and cutting chamber to engage.
4. Pull feed drawer toward front of machine.
5. Place material into feed drawer.
6. Close feed drawer and the material will fall into the cutting chamber.
7. Repeat 4-6. Note that closing the feed drawer all the way after each feed cycle provides
the most sound reduction.
