PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

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 (Note: two paper detection sensors are

located in the center of the paper entry).

OILING SHREDDER

All 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.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Bin Full Indicator: When illuminated, the shredder waste bin is full and needs to be emptied. Use Fellowes waste bag 3604101.

Safety Shield Indicator: When flashing alternatively with On/Off () LED, safety shield is open and shredding will stop. To resume shredding, make sure safety shield is closed.

Door Open Indicator: When flashing alternatively with On/Off () LED, safety shield is open. To resume shredding, make sure the door is closed.

Paper Capacity Indicator: When flashing blue, too much paper is inserted. Shredder will automatically stop and reverse paper. See Paper Jam section below.

R Overheat Indicator: When flashing alternatively with On/Off () LED, shredder requires a 10-15, minute cool down period. When () is blue, resume shredding

3250C, 3250S specifications

The Fellowes 3250S and 3250C are two cutting-edge shredders designed to meet the needs of both home and office environments. These models combine efficiency, safety, and advanced features to ensure secure document destruction while also being user-friendly.

One of the standout features of the Fellowes 3250S and 3250C is their cross-cut shredding technology. This technology allows them to cut paper into small confetti-like pieces, providing a higher level of security than strip-cut shredders. This makes them ideal for shredding sensitive documents containing personal information, financial records, and confidential corporate data. The 3250C offers a higher security rating, making it suitable for environments where data protection is a high priority.

Both models feature a robust motor that allows for continuous operation, making them efficient for high-volume shredding tasks. The shredder can handle multiple sheets at once, with the 3250S capable of shredding up to 12 sheets in a single pass, while the 3250C can shred up to 9 sheets. This capability streamlines the shredding process, allowing users to complete large jobs quickly.

Safety is a critical concern when it comes to shredders, and Fellowes has implemented several features to address this. The patented Safety Lock on both models ensures that the shredder cannot be activated without releasing the lock, preventing accidental operation. Additionally, the advanced Jam Proof technology prevents paper jams, allowing users to shred more efficiently without interruptions.

The Fellowes 3250S and 3250C also come equipped with a Quiet Operation feature, which minimizes noise levels during use, making them suitable for shared workspaces or home offices. Furthermore, their compact design allows for easy storage, while the large bin capacity reduces the frequency of emptying during shredding sessions.

In conclusion, the Fellowes 3250S and 3250C shredder models exemplify innovation in document security with their cross-cut technology, safety features, and user-friendly design. These shredders are essential tools for anyone looking to protect their sensitive information effectively while maintaining efficiency and convenience.
