[. . . ] · Keep loose objects (jewelry, ties, long hair) away from shredder. These items and others like them may cause serious injury if they accidentally fall into the paper entry. PARTS OF THE SHREDDER B C E D F A · Confetti cut shredders contain sharp edges on the underside of the machine. · Do not shred plastic (except credit cards), continuous forms, adhesive labels, transparencies, newsprint, or cardboard. Do not attempt to shred large paper clips or other hard materials (except staples and small paper clips). [. . . ] Do not attempt to shred paper clips or other hard materials (except staples and small paper clips) with this machine. Extensive use of paper clips or other hard materials will result in damage to the cutting system and will void the manufacturer's warranty. To clear the cutting blades, the shredder will "run" for about 1 second immediately after switching to AUTO (I). 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 page 1). Slide paper straight into paper entry until the shredder automatically begins shredding. 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 "CoolDown Cycle" section for more information. ) If the shredder jams or shuts off before the maximum shredding time, see "Clearing a Jam" section for further instructions. Replace shredder head into position on basket. Cool-Down Cycle This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents the motor from overheating with extensive use. When shredding is attempted beyond the machine's maximum running time, the shredder will automatically shut off its motor until it has cooled to an acceptable operating level. This is normal and the shredder will return to operation after the "cool-down" period. See "Product Usage Guide" (page 1) for maximum running time and related cooling or "off" time. Clearing a Jam If the shredder sheet capacity is exceeded or paper is not put in straight, a jam may result. See "Product Usage Guide" (page 1) for maximum sheet capacity for your shredder. In the case of a jam, the shredder's red LED will light and the shredder will automatically stop until the jam is cleared. (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. 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 (Model PS60C-2) 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.

Warrantor: Fellowes, Inc. Shredder makes a loud squeaking or rubbing noise. Shredder has exceeded the maximum run time and requires a "cool-down" time. See "OPERATION Clearing a Jam.
