IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
PARTS OF THE SHREDDER
• NEVER insert hands or fingers into paper entry as serious personal
injury may result.
• THIS MACHINE IS NOT A TOY. Keep children and pets away from
shredder AT ALL TIMES as serious injury may result. Always
unplug shredder when not in use.
• 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.
• Model FS5 / P-5 is not supplied with a basket. When selecting a basket, make certain the basket provides a stable base for the shredder.
High, narrow baskets may create an unstable, top-heavy situation.
• Do not exceed recommended sheet capacity.
• Do not shred plastic, continuous forms, adhesive labels, transparencies, newsprint, or cardboard.
• This personal shredder is intended for paper only. Do not attempt
to shred paper clips or other hard materials (except staples).
• Do not place shredder near or over a heat source or water.
• Always turn off and unplug unit before moving or cleaning and
when not in use.
• Do not insert aerosol cleaners or lubricants into or around the
shredder. Some agents may combust, causing serious injury.
• Do not use this product if it or the cord has been damaged in any
way.
• Do not open the cover for any reason. Doing so can expose you to
dangerous voltages and will void your warranty.
Power Cord Care
• Place power cord in an easily accessible position, because it is the
main disconnect switch.
• Do not place machine where adults, children or animals may walk
on the cord.
• Do not rest anything on the power cord.
• If an extension cord is used, be sure that all products plugged into
the extension cord do not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.

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
machine will “bog down” and fail to shred the paper.
To clear a jam:
1. Move the power switch to the
basket is full, empty it before clearing jam.) The shredder will
reverse the paper to clear the jam.
2. 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.
3. Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to AUTO (I) for
continued shredding or OFF (O) if shredding is complete.
