IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
While setting up shre d d e r
•Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal
due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.
•If the cord is damaged do not replace cord or use the machine. Return machine for a
replacement.
•Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of OD700C confetti-cut shredder head.
•Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached.
•Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source.
While operating shre d d e r
•Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing,
long hair, etc.) away from paper entry.
•Keep children and pets away from the shredder.
When not in use
•Always turn off and unplug shredder

Set-Up
•Recommendation: Place plastic waste bag (Fellowes part number 36052) into basket to
collect confetti and paper dust.
•For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head is in the correct posi-
tion on the basket. Align slot at the side of the shredder head (1) with tab on the side of
the basket (2) and place it onto the basket in this position.
Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an a u t o m a t i c - s t a rt sensor (3) . This
means that when the control switch (4) is on automatic [I] position, the shredder will start
running when paper is fed into it and stop 1-2 seconds after the paper has passed
through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects,
this feature can be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid accidents, turn off
the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will not be used for an
extended period.
To shre d
•Plug in shredder with control switch (4) in off [O] position
•Slide control switch to automatic [I] position to signal readiness
•Feed paper straight into entry (5), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see
Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
•Shred for no more than 5-7 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off
for 15 minutes to cool down.
•Slide control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped. Cutting continues for 1 or
2 seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear shredded paper from cutting
cyl i nde r s.
In case of a paper jam , which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified
capabilities, slide the control switch to the off [O] position and empty the basket if full.
Then:
1) Slide control switch to reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of shredder.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, slide control switch to automatic [I] position and
attempt to continue shredding operation.
3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse [R] and auto-
matic [I] positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.
If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;
remove shredder head from the wastebasket and carefully remove any paper extending
below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; reassemble the shredder and repeat
jam clearing procedure.

Maintenance
Regular emptying of the basket is important to ensure the smooth operation of the
cutting cylinders. If you can see paper in the basket window (6), turn off and unplug the
shredder, remove the shredder head and empty the basket.
