We are confident that it offers you the greatest value for your

money in its product category today. We hope it meets – or even

exceeds – your expectations.

To ensure years of safe, efficient use, please read these few

pages about your new shredder. If this manual doesn’t answer

all your questions or if you wish to comment on this product, we

welcome your call or letter.

Sincerely,

James Fellowes

CEO

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

While assembling shredder

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

normal due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.

• Do not use this product if the cord has been damaged in any way.

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

• Remove all packing material before using shredder.

• 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 shredder

•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.

NOTE:

Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products

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

Set-Up

This shredder will operate only when used with the supplied basket. The supplied bas-

ket has a built-in safety feature which prevents the shredder from operating if used

with any other basket.

• Shredder comes completely assembled.

• Remove all packing materials before using shredder.

• Basket must be pushed all the way in to operate.

Operation

For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an

automatic-start sensor (7)

This means that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shred-

der will start running when you put paper into it and stop a few seconds after the

paper has passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between

paper and other objects, this feature can also 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 shred

• Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position.

• Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds .

• Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding;

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

• Shred for no more than 8 minutes; shredding longer will cause the shredder to turn

itself off for 15 minutes to cool down.

• Press control switch to off [O] position after shredding has stopped.

In case of a

paper jam

, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its speci-

fied capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket

if full. Then:

1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out

of shredder.

2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press 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 shred-

der; remove the wastebasket from cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending

below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam

clearing procedure.

Maintenance

Regular emptying of the basket

is important to ensure the smooth operation of

the cutting cylinders. If you can see paper in the basket window (8), turn off the shred-

der, pull out the basket and empty basket contents.

Regular oiling of the shredder

is also necessary to ensure proper performance.

If you are running the shredder at or near capacity, we recommend oiling it monthly.

Using Fellowes Powershred Lubricant #35250 or other non-aerosol vegetable-based

oil in a long-nozzle container:

• Apply oil over full width of paper entry (1) with shredder in off [O] position.

• Press control switch to automatic [I] position which will cause shredder to

run for about 2 seconds.

• Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position for 3-5 seconds.

• Repeat above automatic [I] and reverse [R] sequence three times.

REMINDER:

Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products

or aerosol lubricants of any kind in or near the shredder at any time.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your shredder, check the symptoms and remedies below. If

you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service.

Do not

open shredder head

to attempt repair: It could expose you to serious electric

shock and will void your warranty.

Symptom

Shredder does not start or stops while

shredding.

Shredder squeaks, grinds or runs below

capacity.

Shredder continues to run for a few seconds

after shredding has been completed.

Remedy

•Make sure shredder is plugged in and

switch is in automatic [I] position.

• If paper appears to be jammed.

Follow instructions under Operation.

•Shredder has exceeded the maximum

run time and requires a “cool-down”

time. See Product Usage Guide

(page 3).

• Check basket position; basket must be

pushed all the way in the cabinet.

Follow instructions under Set-Up.

•Oil cutting cylinders. Follow instruc-

tions under Maintenance.

• Check window. If paper is visible,

empty basket. Follow instructions

under Maintenance.

•No action required. This is a self-

cleaning function.
