Fellowes T580C manual Set-Up, Operation, To shred

Set-Up

This shredder will operate only when used with the supplied basket. The supplied bas- ket has a built-in safety feature which prevents the shredder from operating if used with any other basket.

•Shredder comes completely assembled.

•Remove all packing materials before using shredder.

•Basket must be pushed all the way in to operate.

Operation

For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (7). This means that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shred- der will start running when you put paper into it and stop a few seconds after the paper has passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects, this feature can also be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid accidents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be used for an extended period.

To shred

•Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position.

•Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds .

•Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.

•Shred for no more than 8 minutes; shredding longer will cause the shredder to turn itself off for 15 minutes to cool down.

•Press control switch to off [O] position after shredding has stopped.

In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its speci- fied capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full. Then:

1)Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of shredder.

2)If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and attempt to continue shredding operation.

3)If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and auto- matic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.

If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shred- der; remove the wastebasket from cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing procedure.
