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

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.

See "MAINTENANCE" section.  
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  
of the unit) to clear the paper blockage at  
the auto-start sensor (center) location.

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.
