IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING  
While assembling 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.  
Do not use this product if the cord has been damaged in any way.  
Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of confetti-cut shredder head.  
Remove all packing material before using shredder.  
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 the shredder.  
When not in use  
Always turn off and unplug shredder

or aerosols of any kind on or near product at any time.

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.

Maintenance  
Regular emptying of the basket is important to ensure the smooth operation of  
the cutting cylinders. If you can see paper in the basket window (8), turn off the shred-  
der, pull out the basket and empty basket contents.  
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 (1) 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.  
Troubleshooting  
If you have a problem with your shredder, check the symptoms and remedies below. If  
you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service. Do not  
open shredder head to attempt repair: It could expose you to serious electric  
shock and will void your warranty.  
Symptom  
Remedy

shredding.  
• Make sure shredder is plugged in and  
switch is in automatic [I] position.  
• If paper appears to be jammed.  
Follow instructions under Operation.  
• Shredder has exceeded the maximum  
run time and requires a “cool-down”  
time. See Product Usage Guide

• Check basket position; basket must be  
pushed all the way in the cabinet.  
Follow instructions under Set-Up.  
Shredder squeaks, grinds or runs below

tions under Maintenance.  
• Check window. If paper is visible,  
empty basket. Follow instructions
