OPERATION
| This product features an |
WARNING | |
| sensor will turn on the cutting blades whenever |
|
anything is inserted into the paper entry (while the power switch is in the AUTO (I) position). For the safety of pets and children, we rec- ommend always moving the power switch to OFF (O) and unplugging whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.
1.Assemble shredder (see "ASSEMBLY").
2.Remove any paper clips or other foreign objects (except staples) from paper. If folding paper to fit paper entry, adjust sheet capaci- ty appropriately.
| Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other hard | |
CAUTION | ||
materials (except staples) with this machine. | ||
|
Extensive use of paper clips or other hard materials will result in dam- age to the cutting system and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
3.Be sure power switch is in OFF (O) position. Plug shredder into proper power supply outlet.
4.Move power switch to AUTO (I) position. To clear the cutting blades, the shredder will "run" for about 1 second immediately after switching to AUTO (I). When the unit is turned on and in standby mode, the shredder is ready to be fed paper through the paper entry. (See “TROUBLESHOOTING” if red LED is lit.)
| NEVER insert hands or fingers into | |

| paper entry as serious personal injury may result. | |

| Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity (see | |
CAUTION | ||
"Product Usage Guide" on page 1). | ||

5.Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder automati- cally begins shredding.
The shredder automatically stops a few seconds after shredding is complete.
Continue shredding as desired to a MAXIMUM shredding time of
If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum shredding time, see "Clearing a Jam" section for further instructions.
6.Move power switch to OFF (O) position when shredding is com- plete.
7.Unplug power cord from outlet whenever shredder is unattended or not in use.
8.Look to see if basket is full. If full, lift off shredder head and empty basket contents. Replace shredder head into position on basket.
Cool-Down Cycle
This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents the motor from overheating with extensive use. When shredding is attempted beyond the machine's maximum running time, the shredder will automatically shut off its motor until it has cooled to an acceptable operating level. This is normal and the shredder will return to operation after the
Clearing a Jam
If the shredder sheet capacity is exceeded or paper is not put in straight, a jam may result. See “Product Usage Guide” (page 1) for maximum sheet capacity for your shredder. In the case of a jam, the machine will “bog down” and fail to shred the paper.
To clear a jam:
1.Move the power switch to the REVERSE (R) position. (If waste basket is full, empty it before clearing jam.) The shredder will reverse the paper to clear the jam.
2.If the shredder jams in reverse, move the power switch to AUTO
(I) and allow to run for about five seconds. If jam does not clear, move power switch to REVERSE (R) again and allow to run for about five seconds. Repeat this procedure until the jam is cleared. If necessary, use care to grasp the paper carefully and pull out to clear the jam.
3.Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to AUTO (I) for continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete.
MAINTENANCE
Confetti cut shredders require regular (monthly) oiling of the cutting blades to maintain proper operation. Failure to oil the blades regu- larly could result in reduced sheet capacity performance, excessive noise during operation, paper jams and possibly shredder failure.
We recommend using only Powershred Lubricant #35250 (available by contacting Fellowes) or a
| Never use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum- |
CAUTION | |
| based, or aerosol lubricants to oil the cutting |
| |
blades. Some agents may combust, causing serious injury. | |
To oil the cutting blades:
1.From the top of the shredder, squeeze the recommended lubricant across the full width of the blades.
2.Move the power switch to AUTO (I) position and allow the blades to run at least 3 seconds.
3.Move the power switch to REVERSE (R) position and allow it to run for at least 3 seconds.
4.Repeat steps
