Maintenance; Troubleshooting - Fellowes PS-62C Instructions Manual

Maintenance

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 (8), turn off the shredder, pull out 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 month-
ly. 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.

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your shredder, check the symptoms and remedies below. If you
cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service. Do not open
shredder head to attempt repair: It could expose you to serious electric shock and will void
your warranty.
Symptom
Shredder does not start or stops while
shredding.
Shredder squeaks, grinds or runs below

after paper has cleared the cutting cylinders.
Remedy
