PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
TO CLEAN THE SENSORS
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).
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, we
recommend you oil your shredder each time you empty your waste bin.
OILING SHREDDER
*Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long
nozzle container such as Fellowes 35250
FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE
Turn off and unplug

infared sensor
Using cotton swab, wipe

from the paper sensors

Overheat Indicator: When the Overheat Indicator is illuminated, the shredder has exceeded its maximum operating temperature and needs to cool down. This
indicator will remain illuminated and the shredder will not operate for the duration of the recovery time. See Basic Shredding Operation for more information about
the continuous operation and recovery time for this shredder.
Bin Full: When illuminated, the shredder waste bin is full and needs to be emptied. Use Fellowes waste bag 36052.
Bin Open: The shredder will not run if the bin is open. When illuminated, close the bin to resume shredding.
Remove Paper: When illuminated, press reverse ( ) and remove paper. Reduce paper quantity to an acceptable amount and refeed into paper entry.
SafeSense
®

®
indicator will illuminate and the shredder will stop shredding. If SafeSense
®
is active for 3 seconds, the shredder will automatically turn off and the user must press the power button on the control panel to resume shredding.
