*Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long nozzle container such as Fellowes 35250

•All cross-cut shredders require oil for peak performance. If not oiled, a machine may experience diminished sheet capacity, intrusive noise when shredding and could ultimately stop running. To avoid these problems, we recommend you oil your shredder each time you empty your waste bin.

CLEANING AUTO-START INFRARED SENSORS

Paper detection sensors are designed for maintenance free operation. However, on rare occasions the sensors may become blocked by paper dust causing the motor to run even if there is no paper present

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND MISCELLANEOUS TROUBLESHOOTING

•Run shredder once a day in reverse for 15 seconds to clear cutters

•Empty wastebasket when bin full indicator light is illuminated using bag # 36052

•Shredder will not function if the pull-out bin is not pushed all the way in, or if bin needs to be emptied.

•When shredding for a prolonged period of time, the motor can become warm and require a cool down period. When this occurs the overheat indicator will alert you to the problem, this model will require 20 minutes to cool down.

*100% Jam Proof when used in accordance with user manual

PS-79Ci specifications

The Fellowes PS-79Ci is a high-performance paper shredder designed for personal use or small office environments. With its advanced features and user-friendly design, it ensures both security and convenience for shredding sensitive documents.

One of the standout characteristics of the PS-79Ci is its capacity to shred up to 12 sheets of paper at once, making it an efficient choice for handling larger volumes of documents. The shredder offers a cross-cut shredding capability, which converts paper into confetti-like particles, significantly enhancing security by making it difficult for anyone to reassemble shredded documents. This level of security is particularly important for individuals and businesses looking to protect sensitive information.

The PS-79Ci is equipped with SafeSense technology, a feature that detects when hands are too close to the shredder’s opening. If hands are detected, the machine automatically shuts off, providing an added layer of safety for users, especially in environments where children may be present.

In terms of durability, the Fellowes PS-79Ci features a robust motor that is capable of shredding not only paper but also credit cards, staples, and small paper clips. This versatility means that users can efficiently dispose of a variety of materials without needing to remove staples or clips beforehand.

The shredder also comes with a decent waste bin capacity, holding up to 5 gallons of shredded material. This reduces the frequency of emptying the bin, making it ideal for sustained use in busy settings. The pull-out bin design simplifies disposal, allowing users to easily empty and clean the unit.

Additionally, the PS-79Ci operates quietly compared to many shredders on the market, making it suitable for shared spaces without causing disruptions. With the Fellowes PS-79Ci, users can benefit from a reliable and effective shredding solution that prioritizes safety, convenience, and performance. Whether for home or office use, it stands out as an excellent choice for maintaining confidentiality and ensuring the secure destruction of unwanted documents.
