IMPORTANT SAFETY  
INSTRUCTIONS  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING  
While setting up shredder  
• Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal  
due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.  
• Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of confetti-cut shredder head.  
• Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached.  
• Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source.  
While operating shredder  
• Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing,  
long hair, etc.) away from paper entry  
• Keep children and pets away from shredder.  
When not in use  
• Always turn off and unplug shredder  
• Unplug before emptying basket  
• Do not open shredder head: Danger of electric shock  
NOTE: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products or  
aerosols of any kind on or near product at any time.  
Set-Up  
CONFETTI-CUT (T440C):  
• Recommendation: Place plastic waste bag (Fellowes part number 36052) into basket  
to collect confetti particles.  
• For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head is in the correct  
position on the basket. Align slot at the back of the shredder head (A) with tab on the  
back of the basket (B) and place it onto the basket in this position.  
Operation  
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (C).  
This means that when the control switch (D) is in the automatic (I) position, the  
shredder will start running when you put paper into it and stop 1 or 2 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 (D) in off (O) position  
• Slide control switch to automatic (I) position to signal readiness  
Paper  
• Feed paper straight into entry (E), until the shredder automatically begins shredding;  
see Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.  
• Shred for no more than 5-7 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn  
itself off for 15 minutes to cool down.  
• Slide control switch to off (O) position after cutting has stopped; cutting continues for 1  
or 2 seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear shredded paper from  
cutting cylinders.  
In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified  
capabilities, press the control switch to the off (0) position and empty the basket if full. Then:  
1) Slide control switch in reverse (R) position and attempt to back paper out of shredder.  
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, slide 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  
automatic (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  
shredder; remove shredder head from the wastebasket and carefully remove any  
paper extending below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; reassemble the  
shredder and repeat jam clearing procedure.  
Maintenance  
Regular emptying of the basket is important to ensure the smooth operation of  
the cutting cylinders. If paper is within 2 inches of shredder head, turn off and unplug  
the shredder, remove the shredder head and empty the basket.  
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 (E) 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.

If you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service. Do not
