-7-

Do NOT open the Front Door until the V-Shape Hammer go up to the top and the
motor stops sounding completely for the safety.

V-Shape Hammer might not be able to bend the target HDD if its case is too hard.
In that case, the V-Shape Hammer will freeze the position. You have to press
“reset” button to offset hammer. The “RESET” button at the back of the
machine. At times like this, please once take out the HDD and put it reversely.
Then run the destroying operation again. Please note that some HDD might not
be bended depending on its shape and hardness of materials.

The motor for destruction has a safety device inside it to prevent heat. If you
continuously bend the HDD too hard to bend, the unit will STOP operating
because the motor gets heat and this heat protection device will work. The
device will operate when heat reaches more than 150˚C. The unit can be used
normally after refraining from use for about several minutes or tens of minutes
since the temperature of the motor goes down. We recommend that the machine
is better working under in room temperature. If “Overheat” indicate light up, we
recommend that the machine rest for about several minutes.
7. When the V-Shape Hammer goes up to the top (the motor sound completely stops),
please open the Front Door.
8. Take out the target HDD from the chamber.
*Note: Please pay special attention to avoid any injuries when you take out the HDD
from the chamber.
**Note: In case the HDD changes shape due to destruction and cannot be taken out,
please try to use other tools for assistant.
9. Take out the crush HDD from the Bender fixture base.
