BASIC PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE

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.

Set to Off (0)

  • Apply oil across entry

Set to Reverse (R) for 2-3 seconds

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

TROUBLESHOOTING

  1. Overheat Indicator: When the Overheat Indicator is illuminated, the shredder has exceeded its maximum operating temperature and needs to cool down. This indicator will remain illuminated and the shredder will not operate for the duration of the recovery time. See Basic Shredding Operation for more information about the continuous operation and recovery time for this shredder.
  2. Bin Open: The shredder will not run if the bin is open. When illuminated, close the bin to resume shredding.
  3. Remove Paper: When illuminated, press reverse (R) and remove paper. Reduce paper quantity to an acceptable amount and refeed into paper entry.
  4. SafeSense ® Indicator: If hands are too close to the paper entry, the SafeSense ® indicator will illuminate and the shredder will stop shredding.
