Reverse Function
1 If you want to reverse paper out while shredding, use the reverse
button ( ).
2 Reverse the paper out then turn the machine off using the ON/
OFF switch at the rear of the shredder. Remove the paper from the
manual feed slot (if being used) or open the loading door,
remove the remaining stack of paper, then pull the jammed paper
free of the cutting mechanism.
3 To resume shredding return the slide switch to the auto position
(
) and turn on the shredder by using the ON/OFF switch at the
rear of the shredder.
Operation
1 Unpack the product.
2 Plug the shredder in to a working outlet.
3 Ensure the ON/OFF switch on the back of the shredder is in the
“ON” position, which will illuminate the LED bulb shown by the
standby symbol (
).
4 To start shredding, move the slide switch to the Auto position
(
), which places the shredder into auto mode. You are now
ready to shred.
5 To load the shredder, simply lift the loading door handle (see g
1) to open the loading door and insert documents. You can open the
door further to 90 degrees for easier access if required. Load up to
250 sheets at a time into the feed chamber. Do not ll above the
250 MAX level, this could damage the shredder (see g 2).
6 The shredder will start the shredding cycle automatically ONLY after
closing the loading door.
Attention: If required you can now lock the loading door by entering
a 4 digit code (see below).
7 If you only have up to 8 sheets to shred, you can use the manual
feed slot, provided the auto feed chamber is empty (see g 3).
8 Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The shredder will
detect the paper and start automatically. If there is still paper in
the Autofeed tray after rst attempt, open and re-close feed door a
second time.
9 If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 2 minutes without
being used, the shredder will automatically turn back to Sleep mode
in order to save power.
J The shredder will automatically ‘wake up’ from sleep mode when
paper is inserted into the shred mouth or you open the loading door.
There is no need to press the Auto button (
).
Jam Free Technology in manual
feed slot
Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of paper about
to be shredded. The ability to shred or not is communicated through red
and green lighting. Green means that the stack of paper is within the
shredders sheet capacity and OK to shred. Red means that you have too
much paper, remove some sheets in order to shred.
Since the shredder is unable to shred more sheets of paper than it is
capable of shredding, paper jams are prevented.
Rare Occasions of Jamming
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Stack and Shred 250X
will stop shredding. Check that the bin is not full then try clearing the
jam using the reverse ( ) and continuous jam boost ( ) buttons
then return to Auto mode ( ). If this is unsuccessful follow the reverse
function instructions.
Locking the Paper Loading Door
For additional security the paper loading door can be locked during the
shredding of condential material.
To lock shredder:
1
Place documents in tray. Close paper loading door (see g 1).
2
Press any 4 digits. REMEMBER YOUR CODE!
Shredder unlocks automatically when:
• 4 digit code is re-entered.
• Shredding is complete.
• Shredder is inactive for 30 minutes (but documents remain in tray)
Bin or Loading Door Open Safety
Function
As a safety precaution, if the bin or loading door is opened during
shredding, the shredder will stop and the Bin Full indicator will illuminate.
Over Heating
If the Stack and Shred 250X is used continuously for over 16 minutes
the shredder may overheat and the cool down indicator will illuminate
red (
). Please allow the shredder to cool down. When the shredder is
ready to be used the thermometer symbol will no longer illuminate. If the
shredder needs to cool down while shredding, no action is needed. The
shredder will automatically restart shredding paper once it has cooled
down after periods of continuous use. All you need to do is ensure paper
is loaded into the chamber and the bin is empty when the machine is
cooling down.
Auto-feed Technology
The Stack and Shred 250X has been designed to automatically shred up
to 250 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 8 sheets through
the manual feed slot. The auto-feed mechanism has been designed to
handle paper fastened with staples and paper clips and to only pull a
few sheets of paper into the cutting mechanism to minimize the risk of
paper jams.
Bin Full
The shredder will not function when the bin is full and the bin full
symbol ( ) is illuminated. You should empty the bin.
• Pull open the bin slowly to empty.
• Push the empty bin back into place and press the auto button to
resume shredding.

Maintenance
The rollers on the auto-feed mechanism may become dirty over time,
please wipe clean with a dry cloth to maintain maximum product
performance (see g 7).
The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entry-slot, can
occasionally become covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to
run despite no paper being fed into the machine. Switch the shredder
off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a
cotton-swab (see g 8).
Self-cleaning Cutters
After emptying and replacing a full bin, the shredder will run in reverse
for 4 seconds, stop for 2 seconds and then forward for 4 seconds to
clear away any remaining paper from the cutter mechanism. This unique
‘self-cleaning’ mechanism is additional jam prevention technology from
Swingline.
Credit Card Shredding
1 Lift up the paper loading door (see g 4).
2 Insert the credit card into the roller as shown (see g 6). Only shred
one credit card at a time.
3 Close the paper loading door.
Swingline encourages customers to recycle shredded paper.
Please note that shredded paper cannot be recycled if mixed with
credit card and CD shards. If recycling, please separate shredded
paper and credit card/CD shards.
Shredder Accessories
We recommend that a paper waste for recycling shredded paper is used
on all models.
Accessory Part Number
Recycling Waste Bag 1765028
CD Shredding
A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded CD shards,
ensure that this is correctly mounted onto the bin before shredding.
1 Lift up the paper loading door (see g 4).
2 Always insert CDs in the CD slot (see g 5). Only shred one CD at a
time.
3 Close the paper loading door.
4 Empty the CD bin after 8 CDs to avoid waste spilling over into the
paper waste bin.
5 Remove the CD tray before resuming paper shredding.
Lubrication of the Shredder
Only use oil sheets to lubricate. ACCO Brands accepts no
liability for product performance or safety when other types of
lubricants are used on any part(s) of this machine. Swingline
recommends using an oil sheet after the bin has been emptied
three times (and for each ongoing three bin cycle thereafter).
Insert the oil sheet into the manual feed slot and NOT in
the auto-feed chamber. Using an oil sheet in the auto-feed
chamber will contaminate the feed rollers preventing the
auto-feed mechanism shredding. Follow the maintenance
instructions if the rollers become contaminated.

There isn’t any paper
in the shredder but it
won’t stop running.
a
The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entryslot, can occasionally become covered in paper-dust causing the
shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine. Switch
the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the
sensor using a cotton-swab (see g 10).

Every time I shut the
bin, the shredder turns
itself on automatically
for a few seconds.
a
After the bin is removed and replaced, the shredder will run for
approximately 8 seconds to clear away any remaining paper from
the cutter mechanism.
Y Y Y Y
5
I have to feed the paper
quite a long way into
the manual feed slot
before it engages with
the cutting mechanism
a
Unlike conventional shredders, the paper needs to pass through the
autofeed chamber before the paper meets
the cutting mechanism. For this reason, the manual feed slot has
been designed to be extremely easy to slide paper into.
Y Y Y Y Y
6
I have locked the
shredder but there is
a paper jam and my
sensitive documents
are still in the machine
a
Enter your PIN to unlock the loading door and clear the jam. If you
have forgotten the code or you have left the shredder to continue
your working day, the machine will open automatically after 30
minutes of inactivity. After clearing the jam, reload the shredder
before locking the loading door again.
Y Y
Do I need to enter the
same four digits, as a
locking PIN, each time I
use the shredder?
a
No. The shredder will register the four digit PIN code each time so
you could change your PIN number every time you use the shredder.
Y Y
I have just realised that
I have some documents
in the autofeed
chamber that I don’t
want to shred but the
loading door is locked.
a
Re-entering your four digit PIN code unlocks the paper loading door.
