Frequently Asked Questions - LM1230 Swingline

How to start the shredder?

Plug in the appliance, set the On/Off switch on the back to On, then press the Auto Start (F) button. The shredder switches to automatic mode and starts as soon as you insert paper.

What to do in case of a jam?

Use the Reverse (E) button to clear the sheets. Alternate between reverse and forward (G) if necessary. If the jam persists, reduce the number of sheets.

How to lubricate the machine?

The shredder is equipped with the SelfOil system. When the Oil Refill indicator lights up, open the reservoir cap (J) and pour Swingline oil (ref. 1760049). The automatic lubrication lasts about 2 seconds after 15 minutes of shredding.

Why does the red light turn on?

The red light may indicate a jam (anti-jam), a full bin, an open door, or low oil level. Check the indicator panel to identify the specific problem.

Can I shred CDs or credit cards?

Yes, use the dedicated slot (H) and insert one CD or one credit card at a time. Use the provided waste tray to separate residues from paper.

What type of oil to use?

Use only Swingline lubricant (ref. 1760049). Do not use flammable oil or other products, as this may damage the machine and void the warranty.

How to empty the bin?

Open the front door, remove the bag support frame, take out the full bag, and replace it. Close the door and press the Auto Start button to resume shredding.

What does the open door indicator mean?

If the door is opened during operation, the shredder stops immediately and the indicator flashes red. Close the door and press the Auto Start button again.

How to use the anti-jam function?

The Jam Free technology prevents jams by measuring paper thickness. A green light indicates capacity is respected, a red light signals that sheets need to be removed. In case of a jam, use reverse.

Where to find the serial number?

The serial number is located on a label at the back or under the shredder. Note it along with the model for any customer service or warranty claim.

Safety First

Shredders are safe to use as long as you take a few safety precautions.

• Ensure the machine is plugged into an easily accessible power outlet, and ensure the cable is not likely to trip up a passer by.
• Any attempt to repair this unit by unqualified personnel will invalidate the warranty. Please return to supplier.
• Unplug your shredder before moving it or when it is not in use for an extended period of time.
• Do not operate with a damaged power supply cord or plug, after it malfunctions, or after it has been damaged in any manner.
• Do not overload electrical outlets beyond capacity as this can result in fire or electrical shock.
• The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

• Do not alter the attachment plug. The plug is configured for the appropriate electrical supply.

• Do not use near water.

• Do not use aerosol dusters or cleaners.
• Do not spray anything into the shredder.
• Although this shredder has been designed to be child safe, it is not advised to operate the machine near children and pets.

CAUTION 90% 10% 20% 10% When moving; shredder may fall over low obstacles.

Door Open Protection

If the door is opened during shredding, as a precaution the shredder will instantly stop, and the door open symbol on the indicator panel will flash red. To turn back to auto mode simply press the auto button again (F).

Non-Stop Jam Free Anti-Jam Technology

Swingline Shredders will only shred stacks of paper that are within the shredders sheet capacity. For example, a shredder with a capacity of 22 sheets will not allow the shredding of more sheets than this.

Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of paper about to be shredded. The ability to shred or not is communicated through red and green lighting. Green means that the stack of paper is within the shredders sheet capacity and OK to shred. Red means that you have too much paper, remove some sheets in order to shred.

Given that you are unable to shred more sheets of paper than the shredder is capable of shredding, paper jams are prevented.

This prevents time wasted through reversing paper and unblocking jams not to mention the mess it can create.

Rare Occasions of Jamming

In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, use the reverse function to unblock the shredder.

Alternating between the reverse and forward functions will help unblock the feed area.

Initial Setup of SelfOil™

The shredder is designed to automatically lubricate the cutting mechanism as required to ensure the product continues to work to its maximum performance and to extend the product life. Before turning on the machine for the first time, please open the oil reservoir cap on the head of the shredder (①) and pour in the 60ml bottle of oil provided as standard. This is sufficient to allow the shredder to start for the first time and to operate continuously for approximately one hour of shredding before the reservoir will need refilling. Press and hold down the Auto button (⑤) for 5 seconds to start the pump and prime the system. This operation is only required the very first time the shredder is used. When the 'Oil Refill' indicator is illuminated ⚙, flip up the oil reservoir cap (⑥) and refill the oil reservoir using a bottle of standard Swingline oil (1760049). The automatic oiling operation ⚗sts approximately 2 seconds and you will hear the distribution pump during this time. Auto-oiling operates after 15 minutes of shredding.

CAUTION

We only recommend the use of Swingline shredder lubricant to maintain optimum performance and safety. ACCO accepts no liability for product performance or safety if anything other than Swingline branded shredder lubricant is used (Order Code 1760049).

WARNING

Do not use flammable oil.

Only Swingline part number 1760049 is recommended.

Operation

• LS32-30 & LX20-30 only. After unpacking the product, pull out the shredder bag frame and remove the CD shard tray, which sits on top of the bag frame. Store this tray on the bag frame as shown and use when you shred CD's or credit cards to separate waste for recycling. On the LM12-30 and LSM09-30 high security models, the CD tray can be left permanently in position in the shredder.
• Flip up the oil cap and fill up the reservoir using the 60ml bottle of oil provided*. Close the cap.
• Connect shredder to mains supply.
• Check that the on/off switch at the back of the machine is switched to the 'ON' position.
• Press and hold down the Auto button (F) for 5 seconds to start the pump and prime the system. Only required when the product is used for the first time.
• To commence shredding, press the auto feed button. This sets the shredder into auto mode.
• Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The shredder will detect the paper and start automatically.
• If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 2 minutes without being used, the shredder will automatically turn back to standby mode in order to save power.
• The shredder will automatically 'wake up' from sleep mode when paper is inserted into the shredder mouth. There is no need to press the Auto button (F).

CD and Credit Card Shredding

- A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded CD shards. On the LS32-30 and LX20-30, ensure that this is correctly mounted onto the standard shredder bag frame before shredding CD's or credit cards. The LM12-30 & LSM09-30 models are supplied with a separate CD bin, which fits on the front of the bag frame. CD and credit card shards should be disposed of separately from paper.

LS32-30/LX20-30 LM12-30/LSM09-30

• Always shred CD's and credit cards through the safety guard slot (H). Only shred 1 credit card or 1 CD at a time.
• Empty the CD tray or CD bin after 8 credit cards or CD's to avoid waste spilling over into the paper waste bin.

LS32-30 & LX20-30 only. Remove the CD tray before starting to shred paper again and store on the bag frame.

Bin Full

When the bin is full the shredder will not function and the bin full symbol will illuminate red.

When this happens you must empty the bin.

- Open the door and slide out the shredder bag support frame. Carefully remove the shredder bag from the frame.

Once the shredder bag has been disposed of and replaced, close the door and press the auto button to resume shredding.

Note: LX20-30, LM12-30, LSM09-30 Models - Once the shredder bag has been reinserted and/or cabinet door has been closed, the shredder will run in reverse for two seconds, stop for two seconds and then forward for two seconds to clear away any remaining paper from the cutter mechanism. This ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism is additional jam prevention technology from ACCO.

Shredder Accessories

Use Swingline shredder bags to recycle shredded paper (1765021) or plastic shredder bag (1765015). There are instructions on the paper shredder bag on how to fit it to the internal bag support frame. A complimentary oil bottle and shredder bag is included with the shredder.
