Overload Protection

IMPORTANT! Oiling Instructions After 15 to 30 minutes of continuous use, the cutting cylinders must be oiled. To do this, run the shredder in reverse and squirt oil the length of the cutting cylinders twice. Oiling and Reversing the cutting cylinders is critical to maintain life expectancy and sheet capacity of the shredder. Contact your Formax Dealer to order shredder oil, part #8000-10.

Overload Protection

To prevent damage of the shredder, the motor has been equipped with a thermal overload mechanism. This makes the unit inoperative for a short period of time if it becomes too warm. If this occurs, it is necessary to turn off and unplug the unit for at least 20 minutes before using it again.
