IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING  
While setting up shredder  
• Check shredder for damage or defects; some paper particles in the basket are normal  
due to product testing and does not indicate a defect.  
• Avoid touching exposed blades on underside of confetti-cut shredder head.  
• Plug power cord in an outlet that can easily be reached.  
• Do not place shredder near or over a heat or water source.  
While operating shredder  
• Keep hands and hanging objects (jewelry, ties, loose clothing,  
long hair, etc.) away from paper entry  
• Keep children and pets away from shredder.  
When not in use  
• Always turn off and unplug shredder  
• Unplug before emptying basket  
• Do not open shredder head: Danger of electric shock  
NOTE: Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-  
based products or aerosols of any kind on or near product at any time.  
 
Set-Up  
CONFETTI-CUT (T7CM):  
• Recommendation: Place plastic waste bag (Fellowes part number 36052) into mesh  
basket to collect confetti particles and paper dust.  
• For safety reasons, this model will operate only if the shredder head is in the correct  
position on the basket. Align slot at the side of the shredder head (A) with tab on the  
side of the basket (B) and place it onto the basket in this position.  
Operation  
For convenience, your shredder is equipped with an automatic-start sensor (C).  
This means that when the control switch (D) is in the automatic (I) position, the shredder  
will start running when you put paper into it and stop 1 or 2 seconds after the paper has  
passed through. Because the sensor cannot tell the difference between paper and other  
objects, this feature can also be a hazard, especially to children and pets. To avoid  
accidents, turn off the shredder as soon as you are finished. Unplug shredder if it will  
not be used for an extended period.  
To shred:  
• Plug in shredder with control switch (D) in off (O) position  
• Slide control switch to automatic (I) position to signal readiness  
Paper  
• Feed paper straight into entry (E), until the shredder automatically begins shredding;  
see Product Profile for limits on paper width, shreddable items, sheet capacity, etc.  
• Shred for no more than 2 minutes; shredding longer will cause shredder to turn itself  
off for 4 minutes to cool down.  
• Slide control switch to off (O) position after cutting has stopped; cutting continues for 1  
or 2 seconds after paper has gone through in order to clear shredded paper from  
cutting cylinders.  
Credit Cards  
• Feed one credit card at a time, straight into designated area (F), releasing when  
shredding begins. Shredder will stop when credit card has passed through the entry.  
In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the shredder is pushed beyond its specified  
capabilities, press the control switch to the off (0) position and empty the basket if full. Then:  
1) Slide control switch in reverse (R) position and attempt to back paper out of shredder.  
2) If shredder jams in reverse mode, slide control switch to automatic (I) position and  
attempt to continue shredding operation.  
3) If shredder jams again, alternate control switch slowly between reverse (R) and  
automatic (I) positions to attempt to move jammed paper completely through shredder.  
If you are unable to clear the jam using this method, turn off and unplug the shredder;  
remove shredder head from the wastebasket and carefully remove any paper extending  
below the cutting cylinders; empty the wastebasket; reassemble the shredder and repeat  
jam clearing procedure.  
 
Maintenance  
Regular emptying of the basket is important to ensure the smooth operation of  
the cutting cylinders. If paper is within 2 inches of shredder head, turn off and unplug  
the shredder, remove the shredder head and empty the basket.  
Troubleshooting  
If you have a problem with your shredder, check the symptoms and remedies below.  
If you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Fellowes Customer Service. Do not  
open shredder head to attempt repair: It could expose you to serious electric shock  
and will void your warranty.

Wait 4 minutes for shredder to cool  
down before trying again
