IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

While setting up shre d d e r

•Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal

due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.

•If the cord is damaged do not replace cord or use the machine. Return machine for a

replacement.

•Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of OD500C confetti-cut shredder head.

•Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached.

•Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source.

While operating shre d d e r

•Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing,

long hair, etc.) away from paper entry.

•Keep children and pets away from the shredder.

When not in use

•Always turn off and unplug shredder

•Unplug before emptying basket

•Do not open shredder head: Danger of electric shock.

N O T E :

Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products

or aerosols of any kind on or near product at any time.

Set-Up

•Recommendation: Place plastic waste bag (Fellowes part number 36052) into basket to

collect confetti and paper dust.

•For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head is in the correct posi-

tion on the basket. Align slot at the front of the shredder head (1) with tab on the front of

the basket (2) and place it onto the basket in this position.

Operation

For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an

a u t o m a t i c - s t a rt sensor (3)

. This

means that when the control switch (4) is on automatic [I] position, the shredder will start

running when paper is fed into it and stop 1-2 seconds after the paper has passed

through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects,

this feature can be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid accidents, turn off

the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be used for an

extended period.

To shre d

•Plug in shredder with control switch (4) in off [O] position

•Slide control switch to automatic [I] position to signal readiness

•Feed paper straight into entry (5), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see

Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.

•Shred for no more than 5-7 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off

for 15 minutes to cool down.

•Slide control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped. Cutting continues for 1 or

2 seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear shredded paper from cutting

cyl i nde r s.

In case of a

paper jam

, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified

capabilities, slide the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full.

Then:

1) Slide control switch to reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of shredder.

2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, slide control switch to automatic [I] position and

attempt to continue shredding operation.

3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and auto-

matic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.

If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;

remove shredder head from the wastebasket and carefully remove any paper extending

below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; reassemble the shredder and repeat

jam clearing procedure.

Maintenance

Regular emptying of the basket

is important to ensure the smooth operation of the

cutting cylinders. Turn off and unplug the shredder, remove the shredder head and empty

the basket.
