Fellowes POWERSHRED C-525 Operating instructions

  • Hello! I have reviewed the user manual for the Fellowes POWERSHRED C-525 and C-525C paper shredders. This document provides essential information on the operation, safety features, and maintenance of these shredders, including their ability to shred various materials and the automatic oiling system. I'm ready to answer any questions you might have about these devices.
  • What materials can this shredder shred?
    What is the Auto Oil feature?
    What is the Sleep Mode feature?
    What should I do if the shredder jams?
