OILING SHREDDER

CLEANING AUTO-START INFRARED SENSORS

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.

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.

FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE

TO CLEAN THE SENSORS

Floppies, file folders, X-rays or plastic other than noted above
