Formax 8000 Series Shredders are equipped with various safety features:

Automatic Reverse Rotation 

(Process takes about 6 to 8 seconds)

When too much paper is inserted, the cutter stops operating and 

automatically rotates in reverse to discharge the jammed paper. An 

alarm sounds. Reduce the amount of paper and restart the operation.

Door Switch

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

Automatic Stop

When the shredded paper fi lls the waste bin, the “FULL” light comes 

on and the cutter stops operation. Open the door, remove the waste 

bin and empty paper shreds. Replace the waste bin, close the door 

and continue operation.

Automatic Power Shut-Off

• If the shredder operates continuously for more than 30 minutes,

  the power is automatically shut off.
• If the motor is overloaded, the “STOP” LED will fl ash until it cools

  down.  When the fl ashing stops the shredder is ready to be used 

  again.

Oil Indicator

High Security shredders require 

a specialized oil that can only be ordered through Formax, part # 8000-15

the shredder cutting blades.  The LED will continue to fl ash until oiled.  NOTE: the
