ASSEMBLY  
To assemble shredder head onto basket  
1. Position shredder head over basket as shown in Figure 1.  
2. Lower shredder head onto basket aligning the rim on the under-  
side of the shredder head with the edge of the baske t .  
• Do not open the cover for any reason. Doing so can expose you to  
dangerous voltages and will void your warranty.  
Power Cord Care  
• Place power cord in an easily accessible position, because it is the  
main disconnect switch.  
• Do not place machine where adults, children or animals may walk  
on the cord.  
• Do not rest anything on the power cord.  
• If an extension cord is used, be sure that all products plugged  
into the extension cord do not exceed the extension cord ampere  
rating.

6. Move power switch to OFF (O) position when shredding is com-  
plete.  
7. Unplug power cord from outlet when shredder is not in use.  
8. Look through viewer to see if basket is full. If full, lift off shredder  
head and empty basket contents. Replace shredder head into posi-  
tion on baske t .  
OPERATION  
This product features an auto-start sensor. This  
sensor will turn on the cutting blades whenever  
anything is inserted into the paper entry (while the power switch is in  
the AUTO (I) position). For the safety of pets and children, we recom-  
mend always moving the power switch to OFF (O) and unplugging  
whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.  
1. Assemble shredder head to basket (see ASSEMBLY”).  
2. Remove any paper clips or other foreign objects (except staples)  
from paper. If folding paper to fit paper entry, adjust sheet capaci-  
ty appropriately.  
Cool-Down Cycle  
This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents  
the motor from overheating with extensive use. Whe n shredd ing  
i s atte mpt ed beyo nd the ma chine 's ma ximu m ru n -  
ni ng time , the shredder wil l automa ti cally shut off  
i ts motor unti l it ha s cool ed to an acceptable ope r -  
ating le vel . This is normal and the shredder will return to opera-  
tion after the “cool-down” period. See “Product Usage Guide” (page  
1) for maximum running time and related cooling or “off” time.  
Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other  
hard materials (except staples) with this  
machine. Extensive use of paper clips or other hard materials will  
result in damage to the cutting system and will void the manufactur-  
er's warranty.  
3. Be sure power switch is in the OFF (O) position. Plug shredder  
into the proper power supply outlet.  
4. Move power switch to AUTO (I) position. As soon as the unit is  
turned on, it is in autostart mode, ready to be fed paper through  
the paper entry.  
Clearing a Jam  
If the shredder sheet capacity is exceeded or paper is not put in  
straight, a jam may result. See “Product Usage Guide” (page 1) for  
maximum sheet capacity for your shredder. In the case of a jam, the  
machine will “bog down” and fail to shred the paper.  
To clear a jam:  
1. Move the power switch to the REVERSE (R) position. (If waste  
basket is full, empty it before clearing jam.) The shredder will  
reverse the paper to clear the jam.  
NEVER insert hands or fingers into paper entry as  
serious personal injury may result.  
Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity (see  
“ Product Usage Guide” on page 1).  
2. If the shredder jams in reverse, move the power switch to AUTO  
5. Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder auto-  
(I), depress the manual forward button  
and allow to run  
matically begins shredding.  
for about five seconds. If jam does not clear, move power switch  
to REVERSE (R) again and allow to run for about five seconds.  
Repeat this procedure until the jam is cleared. If necessary, use  
care to grasp the paper and pull out to clear the jam.  
The shredder automatically stops when shredding is complete.  
Continue shredding as desired to a MAXIMUM shredding time  
of 5-7 minutes. At this time, the machine MUST be allowed to  
“cool down” for a MINIMUM of 15 minutes. (See “Cool-  
Down Cycle” section for more information.)  
3. Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to AUTO (I) for  
continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete.  
If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum shredding  
time, see “Clearing a Jam” section for further instructions.

Fellowes conducts extensive testing to ensure that these shredders are capable of meeting all of the specifications listed in the  
Usage Guide. However, the actual sheet capacity is dependent on a number of factors including the type and weight of paper,  
the humidity, the voltage level of the power source, the temperature of the motor, and the care with which the operator feeds the  
paper. Safety agency testing is conducted to ensure that the shredder will operate to specifications even if the available voltage is  
10% below or 6% above the rated voltage.
