Shredder Waste Sacks
The Mercury Departmental shredders (50 and 70 litre models) take the Rexel AS1000 shredder bag (product code 40070).
Oiling your shredder
Occasionally you will need to oil the cutters on models RDS2050, RDS2270, RDX1750 and RDX1970 only. Rexel Mercury Deskside shredders should not need oiling. Please purchase Rexel lubricant spray (40106) for this. Please note this is special shredder oil. Do not use any other type of oil.
CD and Credit Card Shredding
Pull up the orange CD guide located in the centre of the feed area and flip it into position over the shredder mouth.
For credit card shredding, switch the shredder to auto mode and insert the card into the centre slot.
For CD shredding, extend the sides of the orange CD guide, switch the shredder to auto mode and place the CD into the centre of the CD slot.
Only 1 CD can be shred at a time.
Over Heating
If the shredder is used continuously for long periods of time the shredder may overheat. If this occurs the egg timer symbol on the indicator panel will flash amber, the green face will go off and you will see the red face symbol. When the shredder is ready to be used again the egg timer symbol will stop flashing and the green face will show once again. To resume shredding press the auto button.
