Tips & Warnings
Use Fellowes bag number 36052 or equivalent for all personal shredders except models DM15C, C14 and SB-95C. For these models, use bag number 36053. Each commercial shredder uses a different bag; see the Resource section to find the correct bag number for your model.
If your Fellowes shredder is equipped with an indicator light, use it as a guide to replace the bag. When the indicator light reaches the top, the bag must be emptied or replaced.
Run your Fellowes shredder in reverse for 15 seconds daily; this preventative maintenance will keep your feed from becoming clogged.
