Safety Devices & Other Features
Automatic Reverse Rotation
When too much paper is inserted, the cutter stops operating and automatically rotates in reverse to discharge
the jammed paper. An alarm sounds. Reduce the amount of paper and restart the operation.
Door Switch
If the door is open, the shredder will not operate.
Automatic Stop
When the waste bin is full of shredded material, the "FULL" light comes on and the cutter stops operation.
Open the door, remove the waste bin and empty paper scraps. Replace the waste bin, close the door and
continue operation.
Automatic Power Shut-Off
• If the shredder operates continuously for more than 30 minutes, the power is automatically shut off.
• If the motor is overloaded, the "STOP" LED will flash until it cools down. When the flashing stops the
shredder is ready to be used again.
Oil Indicator
Oil regularly for peak performance. NOTE: High Security shredders require a specialized oil that can only be
ordered through Formax, part # 8000-15.The "MANUAL" LED will flash after every four (4) hours of operation
as an indicator to oil the shredder cutting blades. The LED will continue to flash until oiled. NOTE: the
shedder will still operate when the LED is flashing but at a decreased load capacity.
To oil: Spread shredder oil onto the cutters through the feed opening, and allow the oil to sit for a few minutes
to permeate the cutting blades, then press the "REV" button and hold for five seconds. "MANUAL" and "REV"
LED indicators on control panel will light. The shredder will operate in reverse for one minute, then the "AUTO"
