IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING
While setting up shredder
•Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal
due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.
•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 shredder
•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
•Unplug before emptying basket
•Do not open shredder head: Danger of electric shock.
NOTE: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products or aerosols of any
kind on or near product at any time.

Set-Up
This shredder will only operate when used with the supplied basket. The supplied basket
has a built-in safety feature which prevents the shredder from operating if used with any
other basket or if improperly assembled.
•Position shredder head (6) over cabinet (2). Place shredder head on top of cabinet as
shown in Figure A.
•Firmly push down on four corners of shredder head to “lock” shredder head into position.
•Push basket (3) into shredder cabinet as shown in Figure B. Basket must be pushed firmly,
so edges of basket/cabinet are aligned properly.
NOTE: To disassemble, pull out basket, hold cabinet down by placing foot on bottom
shelf, and firmly pull up on shredder head.
Operation
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (8) . This
means that when the control switch (5) is on automatic [I] position, the shredder will start
running when you put paper into it and stop a few seconds after the paper has passed
through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other objects,
this feature can also 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 shred
•Plug in shredder with control switch (5) in off [O] position
•Press control switch to automatic [I] position; cutting cylinders will run for 1-2 seconds to
signal readiness and green light (4) will turn on.
PAPER
•Feed paper straight into entry (1), until the shredder automatically begins shredding; see
Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.
•Shred for no more than 15-20 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself
off for 25 minutes to cool down.
•Press control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped.
CDs (PS70-2CD only)
•Feed one CD at a time, straight into CD entry (10), releasing when shredding begins.
Shredder will stop when CD has passed through entry. CDs will be shredded into small
particles. NOTE: For safety reasons, CDs should only be shredded using the CD entry
(10)
In case of a paper jam , which may occur if the sheet capacity is exceeded or if paper is
not put in straight, turn off and empty the basket if full. Then:
1) Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position and attempt to back paper out of
shredder.
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, press 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 wastebasket from the cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below
the cutting cylinders; insert wastebasket 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 (7), turn off the shredder,
pull out basket and empty basket contents.
Regular oiling of the confetti-cut model (PS80C-2) is also neces-
sary to ensure proper performance. If you are running the shredder at or
near capacity, we recommend oiling it monthly. Using Fellowes Powershred
Lubricant #35250 or other non-aerosol vegetable-based oil in a long-nozzle container:
• Apply oil over full width of paper entry (1) with shredder in off (0) position.
• Press control switch (5) to automatic (I) position which will cause shredder to run for
about 2 seconds.
• Press and hold control switch (5) in reverse (R) position for 3-5 seconds.
• Repeat above automatic (I) and reverse (R) sequence three times.
REMINDER: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products or aerosol
lubricants of any kind in or near the shredder at any time.

you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service. Do not open
