the shredder's red LED will light and the shredder will automatically  
stop until the jam is cleared.  
To clear a jam:  
OPERATION  
This product features an auto-start sensor. This  
sensor will turn on the cutting blades whenever  
1. Move the power switch to the REVERSE (R) position. (NOTE: If  
waste basket is full, empty it before clearing jam.) The shredder  
will reverse the paper to clear the jam.  
2. If the shredder jams in reverse, move the power switch to AUTO  
(I) and allow to run 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 carefully and  
pull out to clear the jam.  
anything is inserted into the paper entry (while the power switch is in  
the AUTO position). For the safety of pets and children, we recom-  
mend always moving the power switch to OFF and unplugging when-  
ever the shredder is unattended or not in use.  
1. Assemble shredder (see "ASSEMBLY").  
2. Remove any large paper clips or other foreign objects (except sta-  
ples and small paper clips) from paper. If folding paper to fit paper  
entry, adjust sheet capacity appropriately.  
Do not attempt to shred large paper clips or other  
hard materials (except staples and small paper  
3. Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to AUTO (I) for  
continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete.  
clips) with this machine. Extensive use of large paper clips or other hard  
materials will result in damage to the cutting system and will void the  
manufacturer's warranty.  
MAINTENANCE  
3. Be sure power switch is in OFF (O) position. Plug shredder into  
proper power supply outlet.  
4. Move power switch to AUTO (I) position.  
Confetti-cut shredders require regular (monthly) oiling of the cutting  
blades to maintain proper operation. Failure to oil the blades regular-  
ly could result in reduced sheet capacity performance, excessive noise  
during operation, paper jams and possibly shredder failure.  
We recommend using only Powershred Lubricant #35250 (available  
by contacting Fellowes) or a vegetable-based oil (such as corn or  
canola) in a non-aerosol container with an extension nozzle.  
When the unit is turned on and in standby mode (green LED  
lights), the shredder is ready to be fed paper through the paper  
entry. (See "TROUBLESHOOTING" if red LED is lit.)  
NEVER insert hands or fingers into  
paper entry as serious personal injury may result.  
Never use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-  
based, or aerosol lubricants to oil the cutting  
blades. Some agents may combust, causing serious injury.  
Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity  
(see "Product Usage Guide" on front cover of this  
manual).  
To oil the cutting blades:  
1. From the top of the shredder, squeeze the recommended lubri-  
cant across the full width of the blades.  
2. Move the power switch to AUTO (I) position and allow the blades  
to run at least 3 seconds.  
3. Move the power switch to REVERSE (R) position and allow it to run  
for at least 3 seconds.  
5. Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder automatical-  
ly begins shredding. The shredder automatically stops a few sec-  
onds after shredding is complete. Continue shredding as desired to  
a MAXIMUM shredding time of 10-12 minutes. At this time, the  
machine MUST be allowed to "cool down" for a MINIMUM of 20  
minutes. (See "Cool-Down Cycle" for more information.)  
If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum shredding  
time, see "Clearing a Jam" section for further instructions.  
6. Move power switch to OFF (O) position when shredding is com-  
plete.  
4. Repeat steps 2-3 above at least 3 times.  
7. Unplug power cord from outlet whenever shredder is unattended  
or not in use.  
8. Look through viewer to see if basket is full. If full, pull out bas-  
ket and empty basket contents. Replace basket into cabinet.  
Cool-Down Cycle  
This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents  
the motor from overheating with extensive use. When shredding is  
attempted beyond the machine's maximum running time, the shred-  
der will automatically shut off its motor until it has cooled to an  
acceptable operating level. This is normal and the shredder will  
return to operation after the cool-down or "off" period. See "Product  
Usage Guide" on front panel for maximum running time and related  
cooling of "off" time.  
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" on front panel  
for maximum sheet capacity for your shredder. In the case of a jam,

the cutters clear of paper particles and  
reduce the chances of a jam.  
Shredder runs for a few  
seconds after the paper  
has cleared the cutters.
