Safety & Maintenance of PS60CC, PS80, DM-C
The PS60CC, PS80, DM-C cross cut shredder creates small particles that, if allowed to accumulate, cause
the shredder to jam. Follow these simple precautions to significantly reduce the likelihood that particles will
accumulate and to keep your cross cut shredder operating at peak efficiency:
• Do not allow the basket to overfill. The power of this shredder will compress paper particles into the
basket even when it is full. The life of your shredder may be reduced if the cutting system continues to
operate with particles packed around it.
• Reverse the shredder often. Reversing helps the shredder flush out small cut particles. Empty basket if it
is full before reversing.
Oil the cutters:
When...
• Every second or third time you empty the basket;
• If the shredder’s cutting capacity is diminished;
• If the cutting cylinders stop with a squeak or a rubbing sound after power is removed.
How...
Use Powershred Lubricant #35250 or a suitable alternative with an extension nozzle. Alternatives can be
3 in 1 or Sewing Machine Oil. Oil must be non-flammable material and a non-degreaser! Do not use a can
spray. Accelerants are combustible. See order form in this manual.
Squeeze the lubricant across the full width of the cutters and then turn the machine on and run the cutting
system forward for a few seconds. (Cross-cut machines with auto start: block the photo eye with a piece of
paper in order to run the cutting system forward).
Then, depress the reverse button and run the cutting system for a few seconds. Repeat the procedure.
Safety of PS60CC, PS80, DM-C
• Do not operate PS60CC, PS80, DM-C without the basket it was shipped with.
• Do not attempt to defeat the safety interlock switch.
• PS 80 only: Do not use without the safety flap. Injury may result.
Paper Jams

All
Models
1. Immediately return power switch to OFF (O) position.
2. Depress power switch to the REVERSE (R) position until the jammed paper has been
fully removed from the cutter.
3. DO NOT PULL ON PAPER. Damage to the drive system could occur.
4. If the REVERSE (R) function will not operate when pressed, the internal overload
protection device has been activated. Release the power switch from the REVERSE (R)
POSITION, wait 15 seconds and repeat.
5. In the machine jams in reverse, unplug the unit and cut all excess paper off the top
and bottom of the machine before repeating the jam-clearing procedure.
6. Shred smaller quantities. See sheet capacity (Table A).

Overload Protection
This shredder is protected by a built-in thermal
overload device that serves to protect the motor
from overuse. When continuous shredding is
conducted for an extended period of time, the
shredder will automatically turn itself off to cool
down. When shredding is automatically stopped,
allow the unit to stand for about 30 minutes before
using it again. Important Note
This paper shredder is not intended to shred high
volumes of paper. Please refer to the specifications
for the recommended daily usage and sheet
capacity of this shredder. Please note that if the
paper is wider than the entry, and you fold it to fit,
the paper thickness increases and the recommended
capacity may be exceeded.
