Set-Up; Operation - Fellowes PS-62C Instructions Manual

Set-Up

This shredder will only operate when used with the supplied basket. The supplied basket has
a built-in safety feature which prevents the shredder from operating if used with any other
basket.
• Shredder comes completely assembled.
• Remove all packing materials before using shredder.
• Basket must be pushed all the way in to operate.

Operation

For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (7). This means
that when the control switch (5) is in the automatic [I] position, the shredder will start running
when paper is fed into it. The shredder stops a few seconds after the paper has passed
through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects, this
feature can 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.
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.
• 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 10-12 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself
off for 15 minutes to cool down.
• Press control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped.
In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified capa-
bilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full. Then:
1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of
shredder.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press control switch to automatic [I] position and
attempt to continue shredding operation.
3) 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 wastebasket from the cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below the
cutting cylinders; empty wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing procedure.
