You can use single conductors, but as space is sparse within the shredder head, I opted for a two-core cable which makes routing the cable through the unit easier.
I used a cable with a length of about 12 inch and later shortened it to the appropriate length. The cable must be long enough to connect the main board with the circuit breaker. As I couldn’t find a screwdriver with the appropriate length, I used a regular flat head screwdriver which was long enough and filed the size of the blade to fit the screws. The screw heads are all Phillips recessed heads. The screwdriver must be long enough to reach the screws which fasten the waste bin housing to the shredder top (about 6 inch, maybe a little more).

The fuse blew again, and getting the shredder open just consumed so much time the first time that I decided to replace the fuse with a resettable circuit breaker. It took some time to find out how to open up the shredder, but eventually I got the job done and the shredder worked again….
