- Keep away from children and pets. Keep hands away from the paper entry. Always set to off or unplug when not in use.
- Keep foreign objects – gloves, jewelry, clothing, hair, etc. – away from shredder openings. If the object enters the top opening, switch to Reverse (R) to back out the object.

PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
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).
OILING SHREDDER
All high-security 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 or every
15-30 minutes of continuous use.
Important: For optimal
shredding performance, use Fellowes High-Security oil (3505701). *Use of
standard shredder oil is not recommended.
TROUBLESHOOTING

needs to be emptied. Use Fellowes waste bag 36053.
