• THIS MACHINE IS NOT A TOY. Keep children and pets away from
shredder AT ALL TIMES as serious injury may result. Always
unplug shredder when not in use.
• Keep loose objects (jewelry, ties, long hair) away from shredder.
These items and others like them may cause serious injury if they
accidentally fall into the paper entry.

• Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity.
• Do not shred plastic (except credit cards), continuous forms, adhe-
sive labels, transparencies, newsprint, or cardboard.
• This personal shredder is intended for paper only. Do not attempt
to shred paper clips or other hard materials (except staples).
• Do not place shredder near or over a heat source or water.
• Always turn off and unplug unit before moving or cleaning and
when not in use.
• Do not insert aerosol cleaners or lubricants into or around the
shredder. Some agents may combust, causing serious injury.
• Do not use this product if it or the cord has been damaged in any
way.

ASSEMBLY
To assemble shredder head onto basket
1. Position shredder head over basket as shown in Figure 1.
2. Lower shredder head onto basket aligning the rim on the under-
side of the shredder head with the edge of the baske t .
• Do not open the cover for any reason. Doing so can expose you to
dangerous voltages and will void your warranty.
Power Cord Care
• Place power cord in an easily accessible position, because it is the
main disconnect switch.
• Do not place machine where adults, children or animals may walk
on the cord.
• Do not rest anything on the power cord.
• If an extension cord is used, be sure that all products plugged
into the extension cord do not exceed the extension cord ampere
rating.

6. Move power switch to OFF (O) position when shredding is com-
plete.
7. Unplug power cord from outlet when shredder is not in use.
8. Look through viewer to see if basket is full. If full, lift off shredder
head and empty basket contents. Replace shredder head into posi-
tion on baske t .
OPERATION
This product features an auto-start sensor. This
sensor will turn on the cutting blades whenever
anything is inserted into the paper entry (while the power switch is in
the AUTO (I) position). For the safety of pets and children, we recom-
mend always moving the power switch to OFF (O) and unplugging
whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.
1. Assemble shredder head to basket (see “ASSEMBLY”).
2. Remove any paper clips or other foreign objects (except staples)
from paper. If folding paper to fit paper entry, adjust sheet capaci-
ty appropriately.
Cool-Down Cycle
This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents
the motor from overheating with extensive use. Whe n shredd ing
i s atte mpt ed beyo nd the ma chine 's ma ximu m ru n -
ni ng time , the shredder wil l automa ti cally shut off
i ts motor unti l it ha s cool ed to an acceptable ope r -
ating le vel . This is normal and the shredder will return to opera-
tion after the “cool-down” period. See “Product Usage Guide” (page
1) for maximum running time and related cooling or “off” time.
Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other
hard materials (except staples) with this
machine. Extensive use of paper clips or other hard materials will
result in damage to the cutting system and will void the manufactur-
er's warranty.
3. Be sure power switch is in the OFF (O) position. Plug shredder
into the proper power supply outlet.
4. Move power switch to AUTO (I) position. As soon as the unit is
turned on, it is in autostart mode, ready to be fed paper through
the paper entry.
Clearing a Jam
If the shredder sheet capacity is exceeded or paper is not put in
straight, a jam may result. See “Product Usage Guide” (page 1) for
maximum sheet capacity for your shredder. In the case of a jam, the
machine will “bog down” and fail to shred the paper.
To clear a jam:
1. Move the power switch to the REVERSE (R) position. (If waste
basket is full, empty it before clearing jam.) The shredder will
reverse the paper to clear the jam.
NEVER insert hands or fingers into paper entry as
serious personal injury may result.
Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity (see
“ Product Usage Guide” on page 1).
2. If the shredder jams in reverse, move the power switch to AUTO
5. Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder auto-
(I), depress the manual forward button
and allow to run
matically begins shredding.
for about five seconds. If jam does not clear, move power switch
to REVERSE (R) again and allow to run for about five seconds.
Repeat this procedure until the jam is cleared. If necessary, use
care to grasp the paper and pull out to clear the jam.
The shredder automatically stops when shredding is complete.
Continue shredding as desired to a MAXIMUM shredding time
of 5-7 minutes. At this time, the machine MUST be allowed to
“cool down” for a MINIMUM of 15 minutes. (See “Cool-
Down Cycle” section for more information.)
3. Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to AUTO (I) for
continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete.
If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum shredding
time, see “Clearing a Jam” section for further instructions.

Fellowes conducts extensive testing to ensure that these shredders are capable of meeting all of the specifications listed in the
Usage Guide. 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.
