CARING FOR YOUR SHREDDER
Clean covers with a clean dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Make sure you disconnect your shredder from its power source before cleaning.
Paper shredders, like all mechanical equipment, need proper maintenance to ensure efficient operation. Periodic lubrication of the cutting blades is important to offset the friction generated within the cutting head. Frequency of lubrication will vary depending on the shred size and the amount of usage. A
The procedure for lubricating your shredder is simple, and can be performed by any operator. The oil is packaged in a squeeze bottle and is applied directly to the cutting blades through the feed opening (3). Run a fine stream of lubricant from one side of the feed opening to the other. Run the shredder in REVERSE for a few seconds to help distribute the lubricant evenly. You can now continue shredding as usual.
DAHLE Shredder Oil is the only lubricant you should use in your paper shredder. It has been specially formulated so as not to leave any residue that could attract dust and clog the shredding mechanism. You can order DAHLE Shredder Oil (item # 740) from your local dealer.
Repairs on your paper shredder should only be performed by qualified technicians. If you need service, contact your local dealer, or you can contact DAHLE USA Customer Service between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm EST at (800)
