E
• 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.

CAUTION
• Confetti cut shredders contain sharp edges on the underside of the
machine. Use caution when positioning the shredder head onto the
basket.
• Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity.
• Do not shred plastic, continuous forms, adhesive labels, transparen-
cies, newsprint, or cardboard.
A. Paper entry
B. Basket
C. Red LED
D. Auto-start sensor
E. Power switch
F. Shredder head
• 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.
ASSEMBLY
NOTE: This shredder will operate only when used with the supplied
basket. The supplied basket has a built-in safety feature which pre-
vents the shredder from operating if used with any other basket or if
improperly assembled.
• Do not insert aerosol cleaners into or around the shredder. Some
agents may combust, causing serious injury.
• Never use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based or aerosol
lubricants to oil the cutting blades. Some agents may combust,
causing serious injury. Use only a recommended oil in a non-
aerosol container. See "MAINTENANCE."
• Do not use this product if it or the cord has been damaged in any
way.
To assemble shredder:
This shredder contains sharp edges on the under-
CAUTION
side of the shredder head. Use caution when posi-
tioning the shredder head onto the basket.
1. Position shredder head over basket as shown in
Figure 1.
• Do not open the cover for any reason. Doing so can expose you to
dangerous voltages and will void your warranty.
2. Align slot on back of shredder head with the tab on the inside rear
of the basket.
3. Lower shredder head onto basket (while maintaining tab/slot
alignment).
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 rat-
ing.

Cool-Down Cycle
OPERATION
This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents
the motor from overheating with extensive use. When shredding is
attempted beyond the machine's maximum running time, the
shredder will automatically shut off its motor until it has
cooled to an acceptable operating level. This is normal and the
shredder will return to operation after the “cool-down” period. See
“Product Usage Guide” (page 1) for maximum running time and
related cooling or “off” time.
This product features an auto-start sensor. This
sensor will turn on the cutting blades whenever
WARNING
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 rec-
ommend always moving the power switch to OFF (O) and unplugging
whenever the shredder is unattended or not in use.
1. Assemble shredder (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.
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.
2. If the shredder jams in reverse, move the power switch to AUTO
(I) and allow to run 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 carefully and pull out to
clear the jam.
Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other hard
CAUTION
materials (except staples) with this machine.
Extensive use of paper clips or other hard materials will result in dam-
age to the cutting system and will void the manufacturer's warranty.
3. Be sure power switch is in OFF (O) position. Plug shredder into
proper power supply outlet.
4. Move power switch to AUTO (I) position. To clear the cutting
blades, the shredder will "run" for about 1 second immediately
after switching to AUTO (I). When the unit is turned on and in
standby mode, the shredder is ready to be fed paper through the
paper entry. (See “TROUBLESHOOTING” if red LED is lit.)
NEVER insert hands or fingers into
paper entry as serious personal injury may result.
Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity (see
WARNING
CAUTION
3. Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to AUTO (I) for
continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete.
"Product Usage Guide" on page 1).
5. Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder automati-
cally begins shredding.
The shredder automatically stops a few seconds after 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" for more information.)
If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum shredding
time, see "Clearing a Jam" section for further instructions.
6. Move power switch to OFF (O) position when shredding is com-
plete.
MAINTENANCE
Confetti cut shredders require regular (monthly) oiling of the cutting
blades to maintain proper operation. Failure to oil the blades regu-
larly could result in reduced sheet capacity performance, excessive
noise during operation, paper jams and possibly shredder failure.
We recommend using only Powershred Lubricant #35250
(available by contacting Fellowes) or a vegetable-based oil
(such as corn or canola) in a non-aerosol container with an
extension nozzle.
Never use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-
based, or aerosol lubricants to oil the cutting

7. Unplug power cord from outlet whenever shredder is unattended
or not in use.
blades. Some agents may combust, causing serious injury.
8. Look to see if basket is full. If full, lift off shredder head and
empty basket contents. Replace shredder head into position on
basket.
To oil the cutting blades:
1. From the top of the shredder, squeeze the recommended lubricant
across the full width of the blades.
2. Move the power switch to AUTO (I) position and allow the blades
to run at least 3 seconds.
3. Move the power switch to REVERSE (R) position and allow it to
run for at least 3 seconds.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 above at least 3 times.

Shredder operates
only in REVERSE.
A small piece of paper may be blocking the
auto-start sensor of the shredder. Move the
power switch to the OFF (O) position and
unplug the shredder. Turn shredder over
and use a toothpick (from the underside

Shredder runs contin-
uously when in
AUTO.
A small piece of paper may be causing the
auto-start feature to run continuously. Move
the power switch to the OFF (O) position and
unplug the shredder. Use a toothpick
(from the top of the unit) to clear the
paper blockage at the auto-start sensor
(center) location.
Shredder runs for a
few seconds after
the paper has cleared
the cutters.
This is normal. The shredder runs a few sec-
onds longer than the paper in order to keep
the cutters clear of paper particles and reduce
the chances of a jam.
