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.)

To Clean the Sensors:

1. Turn off and unplug shredder.
2. Lift CD flap.
3. Locate Auto-start infrared sensor.
4. Dip cotton swab in rubbing alcohol.
5. Using cotton swab, wipe away any contamination from the paper sensors.

Auto Oil™

Automatically oils the cutters to enhance performance and extend shredder life. (Auto oil system is only included on cross-cut models - 425Ci and 485Ci.)

Refilling the Oil:

1. Low oil indicator [low oil indicator] will signal when your reservoir needs refilling.
2. To maintain shredder performance, refill oil reservoir with up to 12 oz. (355 ml.) of shredder oil (Fellowes #35250).
3. Once refilled, automatic oiling will resume.

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. Fellowes recommends refilling the Auto Oil™ reservoir as instructed for optimum performance.

If shipping shredder, oil must be drained. Open cabinet door and remove basket to access oil drain plug. Place suitable container under drain, remove plug and let oil drain out. Replace plug.

Troubleshooting
