4Maintenance or repair of this equipment should be performed only by

5. Always disconnect electric power (unplug) before removing or opening
the cover or other panel giving access to internal mechanisms.
The Model 266 must be installed in a room equipped with 120V/1/60HZ,dedicated electrical service.
The shredder is equipped with a (3) three prong plug on the power cord. The shredder must be
operated on a dedicated 20 Amp circuit to assure adequate power for the shredder controls.
Openthe cabinet door by pulling the handle on the upper right comer. Pull the waste container
forward and out of the cabinet. Place a plastic waste bag inside the container,folding the excess
over the sides. Remove shipping tabs as described in this manual. Slide the container back into
the cabinet. Lubricate the cutters as described in the lubrication section of this manual.You are
now ready to start shredding.
The Model 266 Shredder features automatic on/off for simple and convenient operation. Simply insert
paper into feed opening, the electronic sensor turns shredder on. Once paper has passed through the
cutting head, there will be a 3-4 second waiting period, the machine will then shut itself off.
The shredder can also be operated manually usingthe 'start', 'stop' and 'reverse' pushbutton controls.
1. Green 'start' pushbutton -when this is pressed, the shredder is turned on and ready to
shred. A green light will come on to indicatethat the shredder is running in the forward mode.
2.Red'stop'pushbutton-whenthis is pressed,the shreddingunitstops.
3. Yellow 'reverse' pushbutton - when this is pressed and held down, the cutting head will run
in reverse. The reverse is used when cleaning the cutting unit, and also to clear jammed
material should the machine be over fed.

Should too much material be fed into the shredder, it will switch off automatically. Following a brief
pause, it will automatically run in reverse for a short time after which the material can be easily
removed. Thin out the quantity of material that caused the jam, proceed shredding with smaller
amounts.

If the red 'bag full' indicator on the control panel is illuminated, the waste container is full. The shredder
will automatically shut off. To resume shredding, the plastic waste bag must be changed.
If the red 'door open' indicator on the control panel is illuminated, the cabinet door is open and the
shredder will not operate. This is for safety reasons.To resume shredding, simply push the cabinet door
closed.
The shredder is protected against excessive current draw with a built-in circuit breaker. Should the
shredding unit overheat, the thermal overload device will automatically de-energize the machine.
Should this occur, allow a brief cool down period, then press the red reset button on the back of the
machine. When this button stays in without popping out, you are again ready to start shredding.
LUBRICATION
Important: Topreventjammingand/orcloggingtheshredder,it is necessaryto periodicallylubricatethe
cuttingunit.Thefollowingprocedureis simpleandonlytakesabout30seconds.
Foreveryten minutes of continuous shredding, stop shredding and alternately run the machine folWard
and then reverse several times to clear the cutting unit. Using 5EM shredder oil, we recommend squirt-
ing oil onto a piece of paper, using an '5' shaped motion. Too much oil is better than not enough. Feed
the paper into the shredder. Once paper has fed through, run machine in reverse and then in folWard
again. This will allow the oil to distribute over all the cutters. You are again ready to start shredding.
Twotothreepreventative maintenance calls per year are recommended.
Only authorized service personnel should be allowed to service the shredder.
Important:Alwaysunplugthe shredder before performing any maintenance.
If shredding capacity drops or the machine jams easily, clean and lubricate
the cutting system as outlined in the "Lubrication" section of this manual.
Note: If the shredder will not power up. check 80MA 250VAC fuse on the
control circuit board.
For ease of maintenance and repair, the top cover can be easily opened by removing the two screws
on the back of the shredder and lifting the rear of the cover forward. You should now have access to
the control circuit board, where the 80MA fuse is located.

MICROGRAPHICS"TIP"
YourSEM Model 266 Shredder is capable of destroying Micrographic material as well as paper
documents. When shredding Micrographics, follow these tips for best results:
1. Shred Micrographics ONLYwhen machine is cool, such as early in the day.
2. Always oil cutters well before shredding micrographics.Always reverse cutters after shredding
, is completeto cleanthe cuttingunit.Shreddingpaperwith micrographicswill helpto keep
machine clean and also prevent sticking of the micrographics to the cutting unit.
3. After 10 minutes of continuous shredding, stop and allow the machine to cool before
continuing. Avoid shredding for more than 10 continuous minutes at a time. If they are fed into a
hot cutting unit, the micrographics will melt to the cutting head causing severe damage.
4. Feed Rates: Microfiche 1-10 Sheets per Feed
View-Graphs 1-4 Sheets per Feed
Microfilm on Reels 1-12 Film Strips per Feed
Paper Documents 1-12 Sheets Per Feed
