IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

While setting up shredder

• Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.

• Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of confetti-cut shredder head.

Fellowes conducts extensive testing to ensure that these shredders are capable of meeting all of the specifications listed in the Product Profile (see page 3). However, the actual sheet capacity is dependent on a number of factors including the type and weight of paper, the humidity, the voltage level of the power source, the temperature of the motor, and the care with which the operator feeds the paper. Safety agency testing is conducted to ensure that the shredder will operate to specifications even if the available voltage is 10% below or 6% above the rated voltage. During this testing 2.5 minutes was taken to empty the basket each time it filled and the following capacities were used for temperature rise testing:

Voltage| Hertz| Cut Size & Type| Number of Sheets| Paper Size & Weight
---|---|---|---|---
220-240 VAC| 50 Hz| 3,9 mm Strip Cut| 17| A4 70 g
220-240 VAC| 50 Hz| 5,8 mm Strip Cut| 19| A4 70 g
220-240 VAC| 50 Hz| 3,9 mm Confetti Cut| 13| A4 70 g
120 V| 60 Hz| 5,8 mm Strip Cut| 19| 8.5×11 20 lb
120 V| 60 Hz| 3,9 mm Confetti Cut| 13| 8.5×11 20 lb
100 V| 50/60 Hz| 3,9 mm Strip Cut| 17| A4 70 g
