Safety Devices and Other Features
Formax 8000 Series Shredders are equipped with various safety features:
Automatic Reverse Rotation
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 wastebasket, the “FULL” light
comes on and the cutter stops operation. Open the door, remove
the wastebasket and empty paper scraps. Replace the wastebasket,
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
The “MANUAL” LED will fl ash after every four (4) hours of operation as an
indicator to oil the shredder cutting blades. The LED will continue to fl ash until
oiled. NOTE: the shedder will still operate when the LED is fl ashing 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 fi ve 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.
