BASIC PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

OILING SHREDDER

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.

DS-3 specifications

The Fellowes DS-3 is a state-of-the-art shredder designed for both home and office use, combining efficiency with robust security. This model is particularly valued for its ability to handle sensitive documents, making it an essential tool for safeguarding your personal and professional information.

One of the main features of the DS-3 is its cross-cut shredding capability, which provides a higher level of security compared to traditional strip-cut shredders. The DS-3 can shred up to 12 sheets of paper in a single pass, turning them into tiny particles that are virtually impossible to reconstruct. This feature is crucial for any organization or individual concerned about identity theft and data privacy.

The Fellowes DS-3 is equipped with a powerful motor that can handle heavy workloads without overheating, allowing users to shred continuously for up to 5 minutes. Following this brief operation, the shredder will require a cool-down period, ensuring its longevity and sustained performance. The device also has a 3.6-gallon waste bin that is easy to empty, making maintenance straightforward and hassle-free.

In terms of technology, the DS-3 incorporates Fellowes’ patented SafeSense technology, which automatically disables the shredder when hands touch the entry, enhancing user safety. This feature is particularly beneficial in environments where children are present. Additionally, the DS-3 is designed with silent shredding capabilities, operating quietly to minimize disruption in the workplace or home.

Another outstanding characteristic is the DS-3’s ability to handle not just paper, but also credit cards, staples, and paper clips, adding versatility to its functionality. This multi-material shredding capability means users can clear their desks of various materials without the need for multiple devices.

Overall, the Fellowes DS-3 is not just a shredder; it is a smart investment in security and efficiency. Its combination of cross-cut technology, safety features, and capacity to shred multiple materials makes it a top choice for those who prioritize data security in an increasingly digital world. Whether for personal use or in a small office setting, the DS-3 stands out as a reliable and effective solution for document disposal.
