PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

OILING SHREDDER

All micro-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.

FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE

*Apply oil across entry

Press and hold forward (▷) 2-3 seconds

* Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long nozzle container such as Fellowes 35250

CLEANING AUTO-START INFRARED SENSORS

Paper detection sensors are designed for maintenance free operation. However, on rare occasions the sensors may become blocked by paper dust causing the motor to run even if there is no paper present.

(Note: two paper detection sensors are located in the center of the paper entry).

TO CLEAN THE SENSORS

Turn OFF (0) and unplug shredder

Locate Auto-start infrared sensor

Dip cotton swab in rubbing alcohol

Using cotton swab, wipe away any contamination from the paper sensors

Go to Support Section at www.fellowes.com or see back page of manual for useful telephone numbers.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Overheat Indicator: When the Overheat Indicator is illuminated, the shredder has exceeded its maximum operating temperature and needs to cool down. This indicator will remain illuminated and the shredder will not operate for the duration of the recovery time. See Basic Shredding Operation for more information about the continuous operation and recovery time for this shredder.

SafeSense® Indicator: If hands are too close to the paper entry, the SafeSense® indicator will illuminate and the shredder will stop shredding.
