It is not built to take large paper clips, continuous forms, adhesive labels, transparencies, newspaper, cardboard or any plastic other than credit cards. Using it for these purposes is likely to cause damage.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING While assembling shredder · Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal due to product testing and does not indicate a defect. · Do not use this product if the cord has been damaged in any way. · Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of confetti-cut shredder head. · Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached. · Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source. While operating shredder · Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing, long hair, etc.) away from paper entry. · Keep children and pets away from the shredder. When not in use · Always turn off and unplug shredder · Unplug before emptying basket · Do not open shredder head: Danger of electric shock. NOTE: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products or aerosols of any kind on or near product at any time. 3 ENGLISH Set-Up For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head (6) is in the correct position on the cabinet (2) and used with supplied basket (3). · Position shredder head over cabinet. Place shredder head on top of cabinet as shown in Figure A. · Firmly push down on four corners of shredder head to "lock" shredder head into position. · Push basket into shredder cabinet as shown in Figure B. Note: To disassemble, pull out basket, hold cabinet down by placing foot on bottom shelf, and firmly pull up on shredder head. For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (8). This means that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will start running when you put paper into it and stop a few seconds after the paper has passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects, this feature can also be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid accidents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be used for an extended period. Operation To shred · Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position. · Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds to signal readiness and green light (4) will turn on. · Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc. · Shred for no more than 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause the overheat light (9) to go on and the shredder to turn itself off for 30 minutes to cool down. · Press control switch to off [O] position after shredding has stopped. In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full. Then: 1) 2) 3) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of shredder. If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and attempt to continue shredding operation. If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and automatic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder. If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder; remove the wastebasket from cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing procedure. 4 ENGLISH Regular emptying of the basket is important to ensure the smooth operation of the cutting cylinders. If you can see paper in the basket window (7), turn off the shredder, pull out the basket and empty basket contents. Regular oiling of the shredder is also necessary to ensure proper performance. If you are running the shredder at or near capacity, we recommend oiling it monthly. Using Fellowes Powershred Lubricant #35250 or other non-aerosol vegetable-based oil in a long-nozzle container: · Apply oil over full width of paper entry (1) with shredder in off [O] position. · Press control switch to automatic [I] position which will cause shredder to run for about 2 seconds. · Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position for 3-5 seconds. · Repeat above automatic [I] and reverse [R] sequence three times. REMINDER: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products or aerosol lubricants of any kind in or near the shredder at any time.
