Frequently Asked Questions - Secure X8 REXEL

What to do in case of a jam?

In case of a jam, use the reverse function to free the paper. Reduce the number of sheets and reinsert them. If the jam persists, unplug the device and carefully remove the jammed paper.

How to lubricate the shredder?

Use Rexel lubricating sheets (ref. 2101949 or 2101948). Insert a sheet into the feed slot and activate shredding. Never use aerosols or spray lubricants.

Can I shred staples and paper clips?

Yes, but only standard staples (26/6 or 24/6) placed less than 25 mm from the edge, and small or medium paper clips (wire ≤ 0.9 mm). Avoid large staples (>6 mm) and large paper clips (>32 mm).

What does the overheat indicator mean?

The overheat indicator lights up when the motor is too hot. Let the device cool down for about 30 minutes before using it again. Do not turn off, the internal fan continues to cool.

How to clean the shredder?

Use a dry or slightly damp cloth for the exterior. Never use aerosol cleaners. For the interior, use lubricating sheets to remove residue.

Can I shred credit cards?

No, according to the manual, credit cards should not be shredded. The shredder is designed for paper only.

What is the maximum shredding capacity?

Capacity depends on the model. For the Secure X8, capacity is 8 sheets (80 g/m²) in one pass. For thicker paper, use manual feed.

How to use the reverse function?

Press the reverse button (or position on the slide switch) to reverse the roller direction and release jammed paper. Release once the paper is removed.

What to do if the device does not turn on?

Check that the shredder head is correctly placed on the bin (safety lock). Ensure the switch is in the auto-start position and that the mains socket works. If the problem persists, contact an approved service.

How to recycle the shredder at end of life?

Do not dispose of the device with household waste. Deposit it at a WEEE collection point (waste electrical and electronic equipment) for recycling. Check with your local council or the brand's website to find the nearest point.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE)

• At the end of its useful life, your product is considered to be WEEE. As such, it is important to note that WEEE is not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste. It is to be collected separately such that it can be disassembled so its components and materials can be recycled, re-used, and recovered (burned for energy content in the production of electricity).
• Public collection points have been set up by municipalities for the collection of WEEE, free of charge to you.
• Please return your WEEE to the collection facility nearest your home or office.
• If you have difficulty locating a collection facility, the retailer that sold you the product should accept your WEEE.
• If you are no longer in contact with your retailer, please contact ACCO for assistance with this matter.
• Recycling of WEEE is geared toward protecting the environment, protecting human health, preserving raw materials, improving sustainable development, and ensuring a better supply of commodities in the European Union. This will be achieved by retrieving valuable secondary raw materials and reducing the disposal of waste. You can contribute to the success of these goals by returning your WEEE to a collection facility.
• Your product is marked with the WEEE symbol (wheelie bin with an X through it). This symbol is to inform you that the WEEE is not to be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste.
