PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
OILING SHREDDER
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. To avoid these problems, we recommend you oil your shredder each time you empty your waste bin.
FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE
- *Apply oil across entry
![]()
- Press and hold forward (
) 2-3 seconds
![]()
*Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long nozzle container such as Fellowes 35250
CLEANING AUTO-START INFRARED SENSORS
Paper detection sensors are designed for maintenance free operation. However, on rare occasions, the sensors may become blocked by paper dust causing the motor to run even if there is no paper present. (Note: two paper detection sensors are located in the center of the paper entry).
TO CLEAN THE SENSORS
- Turn off and unplug shredder
![]()
- Locate Auto-start infrared sensor
![]()
- Dip cotton swab in rubbing alcohol
![]()
- Using cotton swab, wipe away any contamination from the paper sensors
TROUBLESHOOTING
Overheat Indicator: When the Overheat Indicator is illuminated, the shredder has exceeded its maximum operating temperature and needs to cool down. This indicator will remain illuminated and the shredder will not operate for the duration of the recovery time. See Basic Shredding Operation for more information about the continuous operation and recovery time for this shredder.
Bin Open: The shredder will not run if the bin is open. When illuminated, close the bin to resume shredding.
Bin Full: When illuminated, the shredder waste bin is full and needs to be emptied. Use Fellowes waste bag 36053.
Remove Paper: When illuminated, press reverse (
) and remove paper. Reduce paper quantity to an acceptable amount and refeed into paper entry.
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 fo resume shredding.
