Safety Devices and Other Features

Formax 8000 Series Shredders are equipped with various safety features:

Automatic Reverse Rotation (Process takes about 6 to 8 seconds)

When too much media is inserted, the cutter stops operating and automatically rotates in reverse to discharge the jammed media. An alarm sounds. Clear the media an re-insert. If it continues to auto reverse the shredder head should be oiled and cleaned (see below).

If the door is open, the shredder will not operate.

When the shredded media fills the waste bin, the “FULL” light comes on and the cutter stops operation. Open the door, remove the waste bin and empty media shreds. Replace the waste bin, close the door and continue operation.

High Security CD/DVD Shredder

FD 8712HS

• If the shredder operates continuously for more than 30 minutes, the power is automatically shut off.
• If the motor is overloaded, the “ECO MODE” LED will flash until it cools down. When the flashing stops the shredder is ready to be used again.

Oil regularly for peak performance. NOTE: The “MANUAL” LED will flash after every four (4) hours of operation as an indicator to oil the shredder cutting blades. The LED will continue to flash until oiled. NOTE: the shedder will still operate when the LED is flashing but at a decreased load capacity.

To oil: Spread shredder oil onto the cutters through the feed opening, and allow the oil to sit for a few minutes to permeate the cutting blades, then press the “REV” button and hold for five seconds. “MANUAL” and “REV” LED indicators on control panel will light. The shredder will operate in reverse for one minute, then the “AUTO” LED will light indicating the shredder is ready.

Maintenance

• Disconnect power by pulling power cord plug from wall outlet.
