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 (8), turn off the shred- der, pull out the basket and empty basket contents.

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

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

Press and hold control 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.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your shredder, check the symptoms and remedies below. If you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service. Do not open shredder head to attempt repair: It could expose you to serious electric shock and will void your warranty.
