IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
• NEVER insert hands or fingers into paper entry as serious personal injury may result.
• 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 and before moving or cleaning the shredder.
• Keep loose objects (jewellery, ties, long hair etc.) away from shredder. These items and others like them may cause serious injury
if they accidentally fall into the paper entry.
• Do NOT use this product if it or the power cord has been damaged in any way.
OPERATING CAUTIONS
• Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity or running time (see Product Usage Guide below).
• This personal shredder is intended for paper only. Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other hard materials (except small
staples). Extensive use of paper clips and hard materials will result in damage to the cutting system and will void the
manufacturer’s warranty.
• Do not shred plastic (except credit cards), continuous forms, adhesive labels, transparencies, newsprint or cardboard.
• Do not place shredder near or over a heat source or water.
• Do not insert aerosol cleaners or lubricants into or around the shredder. Some agents may combust, causing serious injury.
• Do not open the cover for any reason. Doing so can expose you to dangerous voltages and will void your warranty.
POWERCORD 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 it do not exceed the ampere rating.
OPERATION
1. Assemble shredder (see page 3).
2. Ensure shredder is in OFF (O) position. Plug shredder into proper power supply outlet. Switch on at outlet (where applicable).
3. Move power switch to AUTO (I) position. The shredder will start when paper is fed into paper entry.
This product features an auto-start switch. This switch will turn on the cutter blades whenever anything is inserted into the paper
entry (whilst the power switch is in the AUTO (I) position).
4. Remove paper clips and foreign objects (except staples) and slide paper straight into paper entry until shredder begins to operate.
If folding paper to fit entry, adjust sheet capacity accordingly.
5. The shredder stops automatically when shredding is completed.
6. Continue shredding as desired to a MAXIMUM shredding time of 5 to 7 minutes. At this time the shredder MUST be allowed to
“cool down” for a MINIMUM of 15 minutes. The shredder is fitted with a Thermal Overload Protection, which prevents the motor
from overheating and lengthens product life. This causes the shredder to shut down automatically.
7. When shredding is finished or the shredder has entered the “cool down” period, move power switch to OFF (O) position and
unplug.

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.
