Fellowes SafeSense® shredders are designed to be operated in office environments ranging between 50 – 80 degrees Fahrenheit (10 – 26 degrees Celsius) and 40 – 80% relative humidity.

Please read the following safety instructions before using your shredder:

• Keep away from children and pets. Keep hands away from paper entry. Always set to off or unplug when not in use.

• Keep foreign objects – gloves, jewelry, clothing, hair, etc. — away from shredder openings. If object enters top opening, switch to Reverse (◄◄) to back out object.

• Never use aerosol products, petroleum based lubricants or other flammable products on or near shredder. Do not use canned air on shredder.

• Do not use if damaged or defective. Do not disassemble shredder. Do not place near or over heat source or water.

• Operation, maintenance, and service requirements are covered in the instruction manual. Read the entire instruction manual before operating shredders.

• This shredder has a Disconnect Power Switch (G) that must be in the ON (I) position to operate shredder. In case of emergency, move switch to OFF (O) position. This action will stop shredder immediately.

• Avoid touching exposed cutting blades under shredder head.

• Use only designated entry for CDs/cards. Keep fingers away from CD entry.

• Do not put foreign objects in paper entry.

• Shredder must be plugged into a properly grounded wall outlet or socket of the voltage and amperage designated on the label. The grounded outlet or socket must be installed near the equipment and easily accessible. Energy converters, transformers, or extension cords should not be used with this product.

• FIRE HAZARD – Do NOT shred greeting cards with sound chips or batteries.

• For indoor use only.

• Unplug shredder before cleaning or servicing.

Step 1. Plug in the shredder and put the disconnect power switch in the ON (I) position.

Step 2. Press the ON/OFF (I) button to activate (it will turn blue).

Step 3. Feed paper into the paper entry and release.

Step 4. To shred a CD, credit card, or junk mail, feed it into the designated entry and release.

Step 5. When finished, set to OFF (O) or the shredder will automatically go into sleep mode after 2 minutes of inactivity.

The Jam Proof System eliminates paper jams and powers through tough jobs. It operates as follows:

Step 1. Advanced Jam Prevention electronically measures paper thickness to prevent jams. The sheet capacity indicator will light up:

• Up to RED: Too many sheets have been inserted.

• Up to YELLOW: Productivity is optimized.

• Up to GREEN: More sheets can be added.

Step 2. If the indicator is in the red, remove several sheets until the indicator is below red.

Step 3. Continue with your shredding job.

If a misfeed occurs, all indicators will light up and the shredder will pause for 3-6 seconds. Wait for the flashing to stop after automatic correction is complete. Regular shredding will then resume. If the reverse indicator illuminates after the paper has been reversed, press reverse and remove the paper. Otherwise, regular shredding will resume.

If the Straight Feed indicator illuminates, it means there was a misfeed. You should remove the paper and feed it straight into the shredder.

The Auto Oil™ feature lubricates the cutters automatically to enhance performance and extend shredder life.

Set-up and Testing:

Step 1. Before using, fill the oil reservoir with 12 oz. (355 ml.) of Fellowes shredder oil.

Step 2. Press the auto and forward buttons at the same time for 3 seconds to manually oil the shredder.

Refilling Oil:

Step 1. The low oil indicator will signal when your reservoir needs refilling.

Step 2. To maintain shredder performance, refill the oil reservoir with up to 12 oz. (355 ml.) of shredder oil (Fellowes #35250).

Step 3. Once refilled, automatic oiling will resume.

The patented SafeSense® Technology automatically stops the shredder when hands touch the paper opening. To test it:

Step 1. Turn the shredder on to activate SafeSense®.

Step 2. Touch the test area and look for the SafeSense® indicator to illuminate.

Step 3. If the indicator illuminates, the SafeSense® feature is active and working properly.

The Sleep Mode is an energy-saving feature that shuts down the shredder after 2 minutes of inactivity. To get the shredder out of sleep mode, either touch the control panel or insert paper.

On rare occasions, the paper detection sensors may become blocked by paper dust, causing the motor to run even if there is no paper present. To clean the sensors:

Step 1. Turn off and unplug the shredder.

Step 2. Lift the CD flap.

Step 3. Locate the Auto-start infrared sensor. Two paper detection sensors are located in the center of the paper entry.

Step 4. Dip a cotton swab in rubbing alcohol.

Step 5. Using the cotton swab, wipe away any contamination from the paper sensors.

• All cross-cut shredders require oil for peak performance. If not oiled, a machine may experience diminished sheet capacity, intrusive noise when shredding, and could ultimately stop running. We recommend that you refill the Auto Oil™ reservoir as instructed for optimum performance.

• If shipping the shredder, the oil must be drained. Open the cabinet door and remove the basket to access the oil drain plug. Place a suitable container under the drain, remove the plug, and let the oil drain out. Replace the plug when finished.

Low Oil Indicator: When illuminated, the shredder is out of oil and needs to be refilled. Use Fellowes oil (35250).

Bin Full Indicator: When illuminated, the shredder waste bin is full and needs to be emptied. Use Fellowes waste bag 3605801.

SafeSense® Indicator: If hands are too close to the paper entry, the SafeSense® indicator will illuminate and the shredder will stop shredding. If SafeSense® is active for 3 seconds, the shredder will automatically turn off and the user must press the power button on the control panel to resume shredding.

Remove Paper Indicator: When illuminated, press reverse (◄◄) and remove paper. Reduce paper quantity to an acceptable amount and refeed into paper entry.

Door Open Indicator: The shredder will not run if the cabinet door is open. When illuminated, close the door to resume shredding.

Straight Feed Indicator: When illuminated, remove paper and feed straight into paper entry.

Disabling the Feature:

Step 1. Should you choose to disable the system, press and hold the auto and reverse (◄◄) buttons at the same time.

Step 2. Once disabled, the blue Auto light is no longer illuminated. To re-engage, repeat step 1.

Handling a Jam with the System Disabled:

Shredding can continue with the system disabled; however, a paper jam may occur with too many sheets and the Remove Paper icon will illuminate.

Step 1. If a jam occurs, press and hold the forward (►►) button until the document is completely through the shredder.

Step 2. If not cleared, press reverse (◄◄) briefly. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until the paper is shredded.

Step 3. If steps 1 and 2 do not clear the jam, reverse the paper all the way out, remove several sheets, and refeed.
