[. . . ] · If the cord is damaged do not replace cord or use the machine. · Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of OD1500C 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 shredder · Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing, long hair, etc. ) away from paper entry. [. . . ] 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 20 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself off for 30 minutes to cool down. · Press control switch to off [O] position after cutting has stopped. With confetti-cut shredder, cutting continues for several seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear shredded paper from cutting cylinders. CDs and DV D s · Hold CD or DVD at the edge and feed one 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. CAUTION: Do not hold CD or DVD with finger through the center ring while feeding into shredder. 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 automatic [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. 4 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 (OD1500C) is also necessary 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 longnozzle container: · Apply oil over full width of paper entry (1) with shredder in off [O] position. · Press control switch to automatic [I] position which will cause shredder to run for about 2 seconds. · Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position for 3­5 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.
