button ( ). 2 Reverse the paper out then turn the machine off using the ON/ OFF switch at the rear of the shredder. Remove the paper from the manual feed slot (if being used) or open the loading door, remove the remaining stack of paper, then pull the jammed paper free of the cutting mechanism. 3 To resume shredding return the slide switch to the auto position ( ) and turn on the shredder by using the ON/OFF switch at the rear of the shredder. Operation 1 Unpack the product. 2 Plug the shredder in to a working outlet. 3 Ensure the ON/OFF switch on the back of the shredder is in the “ON” position, which will illuminate the LED bulb shown by the standby symbol ( ). 4 To start shredding, move the slide switch to the Auto position ( ), which places the shredder into auto mode. You are now ready to shred. 5 To load the shredder, simply lift the loading door handle (see fig 1) to open the loading door and insert documents. You can open the door further to 90 degrees for easier access if required. Load up to 250 sheets at a time into the feed chamber. Do not fill above the 250 MAX level, this could damage the shredder (see fig 2). 6 The shredder will start the shredding cycle automatically ONLY after closing the loading door. Attention: If required you can now lock the loading door by entering a 4 digit code (see below). 7 If you only have up to 8 sheets to shred, you can use the manual feed slot, provided the auto feed chamber is empty (see fig 3). 8 Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The shredder will detect the paper and start automatically. If there is still paper in the Autofeed tray after first attempt, open and re-close feed door a second time. 9 If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 2 minutes without being used, the shredder will automatically turn back to Sleep mode in order to save power. J The shredder will automatically ‘wake up’ from sleep mode when paper is inserted into the shred mouth or you open the loading door. There is no need to press the Auto button ( ). Jam Free Technology in manual feed slot Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of paper about to be shredded. The ability to shred or not is communicated through red and green lighting. Green means that the stack of paper is within the shredders sheet capacity and OK to shred. Red means that you have too much paper, remove some sheets in order to shred. Since the shredder is unable to shred more sheets of paper than it is capable of shredding, paper jams are prevented. Rare Occasions of Jamming In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Stack and Shred 250X will stop shredding. Check that the bin is not full then try clearing the jam using the reverse ( ) and continuous jam boost ( ) buttons then return to Auto mode ( ). If this is unsuccessful follow the reverse function instructions. Locking the Paper Loading Door For additional security the paper loading door can be locked during the shredding of confidential material. To lock shredder: 1 Place documents in tray. Close paper loading door (see fig 1). 2 Press any 4 digits. REMEMBER YOUR CODE! Shredder unlocks automatically when: • 4 digit code is re-entered. • Shredding is complete. • Shredder is inactive for 30 minutes (but documents remain in tray) Bin or Loading Door Open Safety Function As a safety precaution, if the bin or loading door is opened during shredding, the shredder will stop and the Bin Full indicator will illuminate. Over Heating If the Stack and Shred 250X is used continuously for over 16 minutes the shredder may overheat and the cool down indicator will illuminate red ( ). Please allow the shredder to cool down. When the shredder is ready to be used the thermometer symbol will no longer illuminate. If the shredder needs to cool down while shredding, no action is needed. The shredder will automatically restart shredding paper once it has cooled down after periods of continuous use. All you need to do is ensure paper is loaded into the chamber and the bin is empty when the machine is cooling down. Auto-feed Technology The Stack and Shred 250X has been designed to automatically shred up to 250 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 8 sheets through the manual feed slot. The auto-feed mechanism has been designed to handle paper fastened with staples and paper clips and to only pull a few sheets of paper into the cutting mechanism to minimize the risk of paper jams. Bin Full The shredder will not function when the bin is full and the bin full symbol ( ) is illuminated. You should empty the bin. • Pull open the bin slowly to empty. • Push the empty bin back into place and press the auto button to resume shredding. https://www.supplychimp.com/

please wipe clean with a dry cloth to maintain maximum product performance (see fig 7). The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entry-slot, can occasionally become covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine. Switch the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a cotton-swab (see fig 8). Self-cleaning Cutters After emptying and replacing a full bin, the shredder will run in reverse for 4 seconds, stop for 2 seconds and then forward for 4 seconds to clear away any remaining paper from the cutter mechanism. This unique ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism is additional jam prevention technology from Swingline. Credit Card Shredding 1 Lift up the paper loading door (see fig 4). 2 Insert the credit card into the roller as shown (see fig 6). Only shred one credit card at a time. 3 Close the paper loading door. Swingline encourages customers to recycle shredded paper. Please note that shredded paper cannot be recycled if mixed with credit card and CD shards. If recycling, please separate shredded paper and credit card/CD shards. Shredder Accessories We recommend that a paper waste for recycling shredded paper is used on all models. Accessory Part Number Recycling Waste Bag 1765028 CD Shredding A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded CD shards, ensure that this is correctly mounted onto the bin before shredding. 1 Lift up the paper loading door (see fig 4). 2 Always insert CDs in the CD slot (see fig 5). Only shred one CD at a time. 3 Close the paper loading door. 4 Empty the CD bin after 8 CDs to avoid waste spilling over into the paper waste bin. 5 Remove the CD tray before resuming paper shredding. Lubrication of the Shredder Only use oil sheets to lubricate. ACCO Brands accepts no liability for product performance or safety when other types of lubricants are used on any part(s) of this machine. Swingline recommends using an oil sheet after the bin has been emptied three times (and for each ongoing three bin cycle thereafter). Insert the oil sheet into the manual feed slot and NOT in the auto-feed chamber. Using an oil sheet in the auto-feed chamber will contaminate the feed rollers preventing the auto-feed mechanism shredding. Follow the maintenance instructions if the rollers become contaminated. https://www.supplychimp.com/

Make sure both the loading door and the bin door are Y Y Y Y 2 There are documents in the autofeed chamber but the shredder has stopped running. a Is the cool-down indicator light red ( )? If so, allow the shredder to cool down. Shredding will resume automatically after the shredder has cooled down. Y Y Y Y b If the “bin door/ loading door open/bin full” indicator light is red ( ), empty the bin. Also check to see if the loading door and bin doors are closed. Shredding will resume automatically. Y Y Y Y c Is the jam indicator light red ( )? If so, the shredder was unable to clear a jam even after the automatic jam clearance cycle. Use the manual reverse button ( ) to back out paper from the cutters. Open the lid and remove the offending papers. Y Y Y Y d If there are crumpled sheets in the stack, they may not feed properly. It is recommended that you feed them through the manual feed slot. Y Y Y Y Y e If there are multiple folded sheets in the stack, unfold the sheets before placing them back in the stack or feed through the manual feed slot. Y Y Y Y Y f If there are unopened envelopes in the stack, remove them, open the envelopes and lay the contents flat into the autofeed chamber, unfolding any folded sheets.

in the shredder but it won’t stop running. a The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entry- slot, can occasionally become covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine. Switch the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a cotton-swab (see fig 10). Y Y Y Y Y b If the shredder still does not stop running, call ACCO at: 800-541- 0094 Y Y Y Y Y 4 Every time I shut the bin, the shredder turns itself on automatically for a few seconds. a After the bin is removed and replaced, the shredder will run for approximately 8 seconds to clear away any remaining paper from the cutter mechanism. Y Y Y Y 5 I have to feed the paper quite a long way into the manual feed slot before it engages with the cutting mechanism a Unlike conventional shredders, the paper needs to pass through the autofeed chamber before the paper meets the cutting mechanism. For this reason, the manual feed slot has been designed to be extremely easy to slide paper into. Y Y Y Y Y 6 I have locked the shredder but there is a paper jam and my sensitive documents are still in the machine a Enter your PIN to unlock the loading door and clear the jam. If you have forgotten the code or you have left the shredder to continue your working day, the machine will open automatically after 30 minutes of inactivity. After clearing the jam, reload the shredder before locking the loading door again. Y Y Do I need to enter the same four digits, as a locking PIN, each time I use the shredder? a No. The shredder will register the four digit PIN code each time so you could change your PIN number every time you use the shredder. Y Y I have just realised that I have some documents in the autofeed chamber that I don’t want to shred but the loading door is locked. a Re-entering your four digit PIN code unlocks the paper loading door. Y Y What happens if someone tries to guess my PIN code to get access to my documents? a After 3 incorrect attempts to enter the code the locking mechanism will not accept any more entries. The loading door will remain locked until the shredding is complete. Y Y 7 How should I maintain my shredder? a Use Swingline oil sheets to lubricate the cutting head, do not use other types/brands of oil Y Y Y Y b Clean the auto-start infra red sensor on a regular basis (see point 3a).
