If there are no specific instructions for reassembling an item, simply reverse the disassembly procedure From the service and repair perspective, the 220-2 and 220C-2 models are similar, except for the cutting assemblies. The 220-2 and C-220 are strip-cut shredders.
Use only the specified replacement parts. See the Parts List beginning on page 35. Wall Mounting Each 220-2 and C-220 shredder includes a wall mounting kit (PN 31742). This kit is used to secure the shredder to a wall to comply with UL 60950 stability requirements.
General Maintenance The shredders are designed to perform consistently with a minimum amount of maintenance. This section contains recommendations for external and internal cleaning, inspection, and lubrication. External Cleaning Clean the exterior of the shredder with a soft cloth. Moisten the cloth with a mild solution of detergent (such as dish-washing liquid) and warm water.
Use Fellowes Powershred Lubricant (#35250) or other non-aerosol vegetable-based oil in a long-nozzle container. Do not use flammable synthenic oil, petroleum-based products, or aerosol lubricants of any kind.
Troubleshooting Troubleshooting the shredder begins with checking the machine for possible faults. Possible causes for machine malfunctions include: Paper feed problems Electrical problems Mechanical problems Paper Feed Problems Two common paper feed problems are paper jams and waste paper basket problems. Indicator LEDs on the shredder cover help to identify these problems.
To clear a buildup of paper shreds from the underside of the cutting assembly (also called birdnesting): Unplug the shredder. Check the wastebasket and empty if full. Replace the basket and make sure the paper full closing switch is fully engaged. Plug in the shredder.
Mechanical Problems Mechanical problems can often be identified by listening to the sound of the machine when it is operating and observing whether the paper cutting capacity drops. If a confetti-cut machine is making excessive noise, it may need to be lubricated. Try oiling the cutting cylinders.

Remove/Replace PC Board The PC board is located at the right side of the cabinet shelf. It rests on a support base that is attached to the cabinet shelf. The Door Ajar and Paper Feed sensors and the capacitor are hard wired to the board. Wires to/ from the other components attach to connectors on the board.
Mechanical Assemblies The motor and the cutting assembly are the major mechanical assemblies in the shredder. Remove Cutting Assembly and Motor from Cabinet The gearbox protects the gears and supports the cutting assembly and motor. The bearing plates support the cutting assembly.
Remove Cutting Assembly Gears The cutting assembly gears are the same for the 220-2, 220C-2, C-220, and C-220C shredders. The small white gear fits over the gray drive gear. The large white gear fits over the large cutting cylinder gear. Both cutting cylinder gears are permanently attached to the cutting cylinders.
Remove Motor The motor is supplied as a complete assembly. If any DO THIS FIRST part of the motor is defective, the entire motor must be replaced. Remove Cutting Assembly Gears To remove the motor: Make sure the motor wires are disconnected from the PC board.
220-2 and C-220 Cutting Assembly Models 220-2 and C-220 are strip-cut shredders. The cutting assembly consists of 2 cutting shafts that are protected by the stripper shrouds and strippers. Four distance shafts hold the cutting assembly together and attach to the left and right bearing plates.
Repair 220-2 and C-220 Cutting Assembly To remove or replace the stripper shrouds, strippers, and cutting shafts: DO THIS FIRST Remove Cutting Assembly Remove the 4 screws and lock washers that hold Gears the distance shafts to the right bearing plate.
Reassemble 220-2 and C-220 Cutting Assembly To reassemble the cutting assbemlies: Fit the strippers into position along the cutting shafts. Put the cutting shafts through the opening in the left bearing plate. Place the 2-piece journal bearing inset in the opening around the cutting shafts.
220C-2 and C-220C Cutting Assembly Models 220C-2 anc C-220C are confetti-cut shredders. The cutting assembly consists of 2 cutting shaft assemblies that are protected by 2 stripper shrouds and 2 strippers. Four distance shafts hold the cutting assembly together and attach to the right and left bearing plates.
Repair 220C-2 and C-220C Cutting Assembly The 220C-2 and C-220C cutting assembly consists of 2 cutting shaft assembies, 2 stripper shrouds, 2 strippers, and 4 distance shafts. The stripper shrouds and strippers fit around the cutting shaft assemblies. The distance shafts hold the cutting assembly together and attach to the right and left bearing plates.
Reassemble 220C-2 and C-220C Cutting Assembly To reassemble the cutting assembly: Put the cutting shafts through the opening in the DO THIS FIRST left bearing plate. Repair 220C-2 and C-220C Cutting Assembly Gears Alight the dots on the cutting shaft to time the cutters.
Electrical Assemblies Replace Capacitor The capacitor is attached to the cabinet shelf. Two wires connect the capacitor to the PC board. Typical problems that may be caused by a defective capacitor are that the motor runs but with no power, or the motor runs but with no direction.
Replace Power Cord The power cord fits through through the opening on the back of the cabinet. To replace the power cord: DO THIS FIRST Make sure the power cord wires are disconnected Remove Cutting Assembly and from the PC board. Motor Make sure the ground wire is disconnected from the ground wire tab on the cabinet shelf.
Replace Basket Full Sensor The motor will stop if the wastebasket is full and the shredder will not operate until the excess paper is cleared. The basket full sensor is an electric eye that monitors the paper level in the basket. The sensor consists of a transmitter and receiver that are attached to the left and right sides of the cabinet shelf.
Replace Door Closed Switch A plastic plug on the cabinet drawer fits into an opening on the front of the cabinet. The plug makes contact with the door closed switch. If the switch is working properly, you will hear a clicking sound from the switch when the door is opened and closed.
Replace Operator Panel Switches The switches (Reverse, Off, Automatic, and Manual Forward) on the Operator Panel in the housing cover insert, connect via a cable to the PC board. If the cable or a switch is defective, replace the housing cover insert. DO THIS FIRST Remove Housing Cover To replace the housing cover insert:...
Replace Paper Feed Sensor The paper feed sensor is a light-activated electric eye. It has a transmitter and a receiver lamp that fit into openings on opposite sides of the paper feed slot. Both sensors are hard-wired to the PC board. If the paper feed sensor fails, the PC board must be replaced.
5.8 mm strip cut 3.9 mm strip-cut confetti-cut Note: For more information see the Technical Instruction Bulletin: 220-2 Current Limit Adjustment. DO THIS FIRST To check and adjust the current limit setting: Replace the PC Board Attempt to shred the minimum jam quantity listed on Table 1.
Page 38
Confirm the adjustment by shredding the ratednumber of sheets listed on Table 1. If the shredder jams, turn the screw clockwise and retest with the rated number of sheets. If the shredder does not jam, feed the minimum number of sheets to make sure it will not cause a jam at the minimum setting.
