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.
Loading door lock mechanism
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 2).
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.
Auto-feed Technology
The Stack and Shred 500X has been designed to automatically
shred up to 500 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up
to 10 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.

Rare Occasions of Jamming
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the EX100-07
will automatically reverse and forward the engine three times
to clear a jam. If after this auto jam clearance cycle the shredder still has a paper jam, the jam indicator will continue to
illuminate . Try clearing the jam using the reverse (F) and
continuous jam boost (G) buttons. If this is unsuccessful, open
the loading door (I), remove the remaining stack of paper,
then pull the jammed paper free of the cutting mechanism.

to start the pump and prime the system. This is only
required when the product is used for the rst time.
7 To load the shredder, simply lift the loading door handle (see
g 5) 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 500 sheets at a time into the feed

loading door. There is no need to press the Auto button (
).
Initial Setup
The shredder is designed to automatically lubricate the cutting
mechanism as required to ensure the product continues to
work to its maximum performance and to extend the product
life. Please follow the operation instruction before turning
on the shredder for the rst time. The 30ml bottle of oil is
sufcient to allow the shredder to start for the rst time and to
operate continuously for about one hour of shredding before
the reservoir will need relling. When the ‘Oil Rell’ indicator is
illuminated (
), ip up the oil reservoir cap (V) and rell the
oil reservoir using a bottle of standard Swingline oil (1760049).
The automatic oiling operation (
) last approximately two
seconds and you will hear the distribution pump during this
time. Auto-oiling operates after 15 minutes of shredding time.

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 10).
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 12).
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
The Stack and Shred 500X can shred credit cards. Switch the
shredder to auto mode, then;
1 Lift up the paper loading door (see g 5).
2 Insert the credit card into the roller as shown in g 8. Only
shred one (1) credit card at a time.
3 Close the paper loading door (see g 2).
