Safety Devices and Other Features
Formax 8000 Series Shredders are equipped with various safety features:
Automatic Reverse Rotation
When too much paper is inserted, the cutter stops operating and
automatically rotates in reverse to discharge the jammed paper. An
alarm sounds. Reduce the amount of paper and restart the operation.
Door Switch / Multimedia Bin Switch
If the door or the multimedia bin cover is open, the shredder will not
operate. Close the door or cover and press start to resume shredding.
Automatic Stop
When the waste bin is full of shredded material, the “FULL” light comes
on and the cutter stops operation. Open the door, remove the waste
bin and empty it. Replace the waste bin, close the door and continue
operation.
Automatic Power Shut-Off
• If the shredder operates continuously for more than 30 minutes, the
power is automatically shut off.
• If the motor is overloaded, the “STOP” LED will ash until it cools down. When the
ashing stops the shredder is ready to be used again.
Maintenance
• Disconnect power by pulling power cord plug from wall outlet.
• To clean the exterior, wipe the surface with a soft cloth. If the surface is very dirty, use
a neutral detergent, then wipe again with a soft cloth.
CAUTION:
• Never put water directly on the surface of the shredder.
• Never clean the case with benzene or thinner, since it will cause discoloration.
• Do not dismantle the shredder. Contact your Formax Dealer for service.
Oil Indicator
The “MANUAL” LED will ash after every four (4) hours of operation as an indicator to
oil the shredder cutting blades. The LED will continue to ash until oiled. NOTE: the
shedder will still operate when the LED is ashing but at a decreased load capacity.
To oil: Spread shredder oil onto the cutters through the feed opening, and allow the
oil to sit for a few minutes to permeate the cutting blades, then press the “REV” button
and hold for ve seconds. “MANUAL” and “REV” LED indicators on control panel will
light. The shredder will operate in reverse for one minute, then the “AUTO” LED will light
indicating the shredder is ready.

Operation
1. Flip the power switch “ON” located on the right side of the shredder.
2. Auto Start/Auto Stop
When the START button is pushed, the signal lamp “AUTO” will light.
Insert paper to shred. The shredder will start and stop automatically
when using this function.
3. Manual Operation
If paper is too small for the shredder’s sensors to detect, shred it
manually. Push the START button once more and the “MANUAL” lamp
will light. Insert paper to be shredded. Three minutes after shredding,
the cutter automatically stops rotating.
4. Reverse Operation
Push the REV button and the signal lamp “REV” will light and cutters
will operate in reverse. If too much paper is inserted at one time in
standard modes, the shredder will automatically operate in reverse.
If this occurs, remove the inserted paper and shred in smaller
amounts. NOTE: The maximum amount of paper to be shredded
differs according to paper quality, humidity and voltage. If the shredder is to be used
continuously, do not insert more than half of the maximum capacity.
5. Full Sensor
If the wastebasket is full, the “FULL” lamp will light and the cutter will stop automatically.
Open the door, empty the wastebasket of paper strips/chips, replace the wastebasket,
close door, and continue to shred.
Set-up Guidelines
1. Install the shredder on a level surface, away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
2. Insert plug into wall outlet with the appropriate voltage, 110V. If the outlet is shared
with another electronic device, the total current should not exceed 30A (at 110V).
