PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

OILING SHREDDER
All mini-cut shredders require oil peak perfomance. 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

1. *Apply oil across entry
   
2. Press and hold Reverse () for 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: the paper detection sensors is located in the center of the paper entry).

TO CLEAN THE 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 Full: When illuminated, the shredder waste bin is full and needs to be emptied. Use Fellowes waste bag 36053.
Bin Open: The shredder will not run if the bin is open. Close the bin to resume shredding.

Remove Paper: When illuminated, set to reverse () and remove paper. Reduce paper quantity to an acceptable amount and refeed into paper entry.
