PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

OILING SHREDDER

All cross-cut shredders require oil for peak performance. If not oiled, a machine may experience diminished sheet capacity, intrusive noise when shredding, and could ultimately stop running. To avoid these problems, we recommend you oil your shredder each time you empty your waste bin.

FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE

Cleaning Auto-Start Infrared Sensors

Paper detection sensors are designed for maintenance free operation. However, on rare occasions, the sensors may become blocked by paper dust causing the motor to run even if there is no paper present.

(Note: two paper detection sensors are located in the center of the paper entry).

TO CLEAN THE SENSORS

Set to Off (O)	*Apply oil	Set to Reverse (R)
	across entry	2-3 seconds

*Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long nozzle container such as Fellowes 35250
