Fellowes P-45C shredder
posted by janbg on May 25, 2008
Just over 1 year old. Hardly used. Fed through 8 pages of bank statements (2 at a time) and there was a electrical bang and it threw the circuit. Switched the main back on but the thing is dead. What do you advise? I bought it from Officeworks on 17.4.07. I note that it has 3 years warranty on cutters but only 1 year on machine. Help! Janet

ApprenticeJanet,
Shredders need oil. You must oil the cutters every 500 or so pages or jams like this one will cause the blades to seize. If you haven't been oiling it at least monthly when not using it, it will also jam in the manner you describe. Care and feeding of a shredder is very important. Also, its considered a non-warranty repair if the oiling is not being done. However, call Fellowes directly to see what you can work out.
