Maintenance
Regular emptying of the baske t
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
(OD1200C) 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 (7) 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.
R E M I N D E R :
Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products
or aerosol lubricants of any kind in or near the shredder at any time.

you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service.
