User manual FELLOWES DM65C MANUAL-2001

[. . . ] · Do not shred plastic (except credit cards), continuous forms, adhesive labels, transparencies, newsprint, or cardboard. · This personal shredder is intended for paper only. Do not attempt to shred large paper clips or other hard materials (except staples and small paper clips). · Use only the power supply recommended on the product label. [. . . ] When the unit is turned on and in standby mode (green LED lights), 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 "Product Usage Guide" on front cover of this manual). Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder automatically begins shredding. The shredder automatically stops a few seconds after shredding is complete. Continue shredding as desired to a MAXIMUM shredding time of 10-12 minutes. At this time, the machine MUST be allowed to "cool down" for a MINIMUM of 20 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. Move power switch to OFF (O) position when shredding is complete. Unplug power cord from outlet whenever shredder is unattended or not in use. Look through viewer to see if basket is full. If full, pull out basket and empty basket contents. Replace basket into cabinet. the shredder's red LED will light and the shredder will automatically stop until the jam is cleared. Move the power switch to the REVERSE (R) position. (NOTE: If waste basket is full, empty it before clearing jam. ) The shredder will reverse the paper to clear the jam. 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. Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to AUTO (I) for continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete. MAINTENANCE Confetti-cut shredders require regular (monthly) oiling of the cutting blades to maintain proper operation. Failure to oil the blades regularly 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. [. . . ] Shredder has exceeded the maximum run time and requires a "cool-down" time. See "Product Usage Guide" on front panel. See "OPERATION Clearing a Jam. " a.
