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, Fellowes recommends you oil your shredder each time you empty your waste bin.

Follow Oiling Procedure Below and Repeat Twice:

1. Set control switch to OFF (O).
2. *Apply oil across entry.
3. Set control switch to Reverse (◀️) for 2-3 seconds.

*Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long nozzle container such as Fellowes 35250

Troubleshooting

Paper Jam

1. Set control switch to Reverse (◀️) for 2-3 seconds.
2. Alternate slowly back and forth.
3. Set control switch to OFF (O) and unplug.
4. Gently pull uncut paper from paper entry.
5. Plug in.
6. Set control switch to Auto-On (▶️) and resume shredding.

• Make sure head is on basket correctly.
