User manual FELLOWES T580C

[. . . ] We hope it meets ­ or even exceeds ­ your expectations. To ensure years of safe, efficient use, please read these few pages about your new shredder. If this manual doesn't answer all your questions or if you wish to comment on this product, we welcome your call or letter. Sincerely, James Fellowes CEO Contents Product Profile . [. . . ] This means that when the control switch (5) is in the 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. Operation 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 . · 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 8 minutes; shredding longer will cause the shredder to turn itself off for 15 minutes to cool down. · Press control switch to off [O] position after shredding has stopped. In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified capabilities, press the control switch to the off [O] position 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 the wastebasket from cabinet and carefully remove any paper extending below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; insert wastebasket and repeat jam clearing procedure. 5 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 (8), turn off the shredder, pull out the basket and empty basket contents. Regular oiling of the shredder 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 long-nozzle 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 3-5 seconds. · Repeat above automatic [I] and reverse [R] sequence three times.
