How to Install Fellowes Powershred 325i

Step 1: Place the shredder on a flat, stable surface near a grounded power outlet. Remove all packaging materials and verify the feed opening is clear of obstructions.

Step 2: Lift and position the waste bin in the base of the unit, ensuring the bin is securely seated and aligned with the shredding mechanism.

Step 3: Connect the power cord to a properly grounded outlet. If the shredder has a safety switch, activate it and set the unit to the Ready or On position according to the user guide.

Step 4: Prepare documents for shredding by removing staples and paper clips if possible. Do not exceed the recommended sheet capacity per pass to maintain optimal performance and reduce strain on the motor.

Step 5: Begin shredding by feeding documents into the feed opening at a steady pace. The 100% Jam Proof system will automatically intervene if a jam is detected, reversing briefly to clear the obstruction. Periodically empty the waste bin to prevent overflow and ensure smooth operation.
