BASIC PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

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.

FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE

• Apply oil across entry

Press and hold forward ( ) 2-3 seconds

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

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND MISCELLANEOUS TROUBLESHOOTING

• Self Cleaning Cycle: Shredder periodically cycles in forward and reverse lasting 3-6 seconds (C-325Ci).
• Empty wastebasket when bin full indicator lights up.
• Shredder won’t run if the door is open, or bin needs to be emptied.
• Maintenance is an important part of protecting your investment. Don’t forget our oil (35250) and shredder bags (36056).
