BASIC PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

OILING SHREDDER

FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE

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 (O)

Set to Reverse (R) for 2-3 seconds

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