MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

Shred only one CD, DVD at a time.

Do not shred envelopes or labels with a sticky substance like glue. Do not shred wet paper, carbon paper or vinyl bags. The shred will stick in the cutters and may cause paper jams or lower shredding performance. Empty the wastebasket regularly to prevent paper jams. Do not operate if the power cord appears damaged. Do not alter this unit or cord in any way. Do not place this shredder near water or any heat source. Keep 6 inches away from wall. Do not use any oil or lubricants not clearly specified for shredder use in or around this unit. Some agents may combust causing serious injury. If an extension cord is used, make sure that the total ampere ratings of the products plugged into the extension cord do not exceed the extension cord ampere rating, and that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amps. This shredder should be used only with an operator in attendance. Keep shredder in the ON/OFF position and unplug from the AC outlet when not in use for an extended period of time. Avoid exposing the shredder to direct sunlight.

To ensure proper operation and function, periodic oiling of the cutting system is required. Failure to oil your cutting system could result in reduced sheet capacity performance, excess noise, paper jams and possible machine failure. Run the machine in reverse after every 15-30 minutes of continuous use while applying a thin strip of oil to the cutting head.

• Squeeze the lubricant across the full width of the cutters.
• Clean the shredder housing using a soft cloth dampened with a mild solution of detergent (such as dish washing liquid) and warm water. DO NOT use chemical cleaners or solvents.
