PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
CLEANING AUTO-START INFRARED SENSORS

TO CLEAN THE SENSORS
AUTO
AUTO
Turn off and unplug shredder
AUTO
Locate Auto-start infared sensor
Dip cotton swab in rubbing alcohol
Using cotton swab, wipe away any contamination from the paper sensors
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.

Press and hold forward ( ) 2-3 seconds
- Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long nozzle container such as Fellowes 35250

- Door Open Indicator: The shredder will not run if the cabinet door is open. When illuminated, close the door to resume shredding.
