PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

OILING SHREDDER

All micro-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.

FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE

12

*Apply oil across entry Press and hold forward () 2-3 seconds

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

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).

450Ms specifications

The Fellowes 450Ms is a state-of-the-art paper shredder designed for both home and office environments, prioritizing security and efficiency. This model stands out due to its advanced features and user-friendly technologies, making it an ideal choice for individuals or businesses looking to protect sensitive information.

One of the key features of the Fellowes 450Ms is its micro-cut technology. Unlike standard strip or cross-cut shredders that leave behind potentially recoverable fragments of documents, the micro-cut mechanism transforms paper into tiny pieces, significantly reducing the chance of identity theft or unauthorized access to confidential data. The 450Ms can shred up to 10 sheets of paper at a time, ensuring quick and efficient processing while maintaining a high level of security.

Another notable characteristic of the 450Ms is its ability to handle more than just paper. This shredder is equipped to safely destroy staples, paper clips, and even credit cards, making it a versatile tool for comprehensive document destruction. The inclusion of a 12-gallon waste bin means that users can shred large volumes of materials without the need for constant emptying, enhancing productivity in busy environments.

The Fellowes 450Ms prioritizes not only security and efficiency but also user convenience. It features a robust safety lock, ensuring that the shredder cannot be activated unintentionally, which is particularly valuable in homes with children. The device also includes an overheat protection system that automatically disables the shredder when it reaches its maximum operating temperature, preventing potential damage and prolonging its lifespan.

Another advanced feature is the SilentShred technology, which allows for quiet operation, making it ideal for use in shared workspaces or quiet offices. This feature minimizes disruptions and creates a more pleasant working environment. The compact design of the 450Ms ensures it can fit conveniently under desks or in storage spaces without sacrificing power or capacity.

In summary, the Fellowes 450Ms represents an intersection of innovation, security, and convenience. Its micro-cut technology, versatility, large waste capacity, safety features, and quiet operation make it a superior choice for anyone needing a reliable and effective shredder. Whether for personal use or in a busy office, the Fellowes 450Ms stands out as an essential tool in safeguarding confidential information.
