PRODUCT MAINTENANCE

CLEANING AUTO-START INFRARED SENSORS

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. (Note: two paper detection sensors are located in the center of the paper entry) .

TO CLEAN THE SENSORS

AUTO

Turn off and unplug shredder

Locate Auto-start infrared 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.
