If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder; remove wastebasket from the cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below the cutting cylinders; 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 (7), turn off the shredder, pull out basket and empty basket contents.

Regular oiling of the confetti-cut model (PS80C-2) is also neces-

sary 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 (0) position.

Press control switch (5) to automatic (I) position which will cause shredder to run for about 2 seconds.

Press and hold control switch (5) 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.
