how to install Fellowes AutoMax 600M

• Place the shredder on a stable, level surface near an outlet. Ensure adequate clearance on all sides for ventilation and easy access to the auto-feed tray and waste bin.
• Remove all packaging materials and inspect the machine for any transit damage. Remove protective covers from the auto-feed tray and blades, then reinsert components as needed.
• Power connection: Plug the shredder into a properly grounded electrical outlet. If you plan to use the auto-feed feature, position the auto-feed tray at a comfortable height and angle for loading stacks of paper.
• Install the waste bin securely in place. Make sure it is properly seated so the auto-feed sensors and blade assembly have unobstructed operation.
• Power on and perform a test run with a small batch of standard-sized sheets to verify auto-feed performance and manual feed operation. Remove any staples or clips unless the model specifies compatibility with those items, and confirm smooth shredding.
• For optimal longevity, periodically oil the shredder blades according to the manufacturer’s guidelines and clean the intake area to prevent buildup that could impede performance.

Frequently asked questions

• What makes the Fellowes AutoMax 600M different from a standard shredder?
  The AutoMax 600M combines a hands-free auto-feed system with a traditional manual feed option, delivering high-volume shredding efficiency while maintaining precise control for sensitive documents. Its micro-cut technology provides enhanced privacy, and its commercial-grade build is designed for busy offices and home offices alike.
• Is it safe to leave the shredder running unattended?
  Yes. The AutoMax 600M is designed for walk-away shredding in auto-feed mode, but always follow safety guidelines: keep hands away from feed slots, supervise children, and ensure the area around the shredder remains clear during operation.
• What types of materials can it shred?
  This model is optimized for standard paper documents. It handles staples and paper clips in typical office documents, and it uses micro-cut blades to produce small particle sizes. It is not intended for shredding CDs, credit cards, or other non-paper media unless specified by the manufacturer.
• How do I maintain the shredder for long life?
  Regularly empty the waste bin before it becomes full, inspect and clean the intake area to prevent jams, and follow the lubrication schedule provided by Fellowes. Periodic blade lubrication helps maintain cutting performance and reduce wear.
• Can this shredder handle large workloads in a commercial setting?
  Yes. The AutoMax 600M is designed for high-volume use with a robust motor and auto-feed tray that accelerates throughput, making it well suited for small to medium-sized offices or busy home workspaces that require reliable, continuous shredding.
• Does it integrate with existing office workflows?
  Absolutely. The 2-in-1 design complements existing paper-handling processes, enabling quick disposal of bulk documents while still catering to ad-hoc shredding needs. It reduces downtime and keeps document security front and center in daily operations.
