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. 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. Do not directly oil the shredder.

Credit Card Shredding

The Stack and Shred 80X can shred credit cards. Switch the
shredder to auto mode and insert the credit card between the

markings in the manual feed slot (see g. 4). Only shred one

credit card at a time.

Swingline encourages customers to recycle shredded
paper. Please note that shredded paper cannot be
recycled if mixed with credit card shards. If recycling,
please separate shredded paper and credit cards.

Shredder Accessories

We recommend that a paper waste sack for recycling shredded
paper is used on all models.

Accessory Part Number

Recycling Waste Bag 1765028

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

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 machine by using the ON/OFF

switch at the rear of the shredder.

Rare Occasions of Jamming

In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Stack
and Shred 80X 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.

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 80X is used continuously for over
9 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.

Autofeed Technology

The Stack and Shred 80X has been designed to automatically
shred up to 80 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 6
sheets through the manual feed slot. The auto-feed mechanism
has been designed to handle paper fastened with staples and
paper clips and pulls a few sheets of paper at a time 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 the machine will

resume shredding.

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

g1) to open the loading door and insert documentsYou can

open the door further to 90 degrees for easier access if

required. Load up to 80 sheets at a time into the feed chamber.
Do not ll above the 80 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.

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 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.

9 The shredder will automatically ‘wake up’ from sleep mode

when paper is inserted into the shred mouth or you open the
loading door.

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.

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 6).
