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

Chairman & CEO

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

While setting up 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.

• Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of 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 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

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

on the basket. Align slot on the side of the shredder head (A) with tab on the side of the

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

Operation

For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an

automatic-start sensor (C)

. This

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

ning when you put paper into it and stop 1 or 2 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 (D) in off [O] position.

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

Paper:

• Feed paper straight into entry (E), 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 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off for

20 minutes to cool down.

• Slide control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped. Cutting continues for 1-2

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

cylinders.

Credit Cards:

• Feed one card at a time, into the middle of the paper entry (E), releasing when shredding

begins. Shredder will stop when credit card has passed through the entry.

In case of a

paper jam

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

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

1) Slide control switch in 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 automatic

[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. If paper is within 2 inches of shredder head, turn off and unplug the

shredder, remove the shredder head and empty the basket.

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 (E) with shredder in off [O] position.

• Press control switch to automatic [I] position which will cause shredder to run for about 2

seconds.

• Press 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.
