OVERLOADING

When the cutting system is “overloaded”, switch the shredder off, then into reverse to clear the cutting system. To continue shredding, reduce the amount of material being destroyed and restart the shredder.

CAUTION: In the event of a severe overload or jam, DO NOT attempt to clear the jam by alternately switching from forward to reverse constantly. This action may result in motor or drive system damage, which cannot be repaired within the scope of the guarantee. In addition, the resulting situation may require a service technician to manually clear the overfeed.

THERMAL OVERLOAD CUT-OUT

The Model 135 Shredder is protected against excessive current draw with a built-in thermo-element, which causes it to switch off automatically. If an overload should happen, shut off the shredder and allow 10 to 20 minutes for the motor to cool off.

LUBRICATION

a)If shredding 10-15 minutes a day, oil cutters once a week.

b)If shredding 2-3 hours a day, oil cutters once a day.

c)For continuous shredding, oil every 15 minutes after reversing cutters to clean out machine.

d)Do not oil a running machine.

e)After oiling, allow shredder to run for a short period of time to ensure even distribution of the oil.

IMPORTANT: To prevent jamming and/or clogging, it is necessary to periodically reverse the cutters to clean them out, then lubricate the cutting unit.
