is also necessary for proper performance.  It is recommended to use the shredder oil 
every few weeks.

paper shredder has indicator lights as visual

Special Features

Protective Cover & Paper Guide

Black & Decker is committed to offering 

dependable, user-friendly products.

Our patent-pending 

Protective Cover 

delivers the security and peace of mind every user 

desires.  When closed, it simply snaps in place and covers the shredder opening, making it 
difficult for children or pets to access the opening.  It is also a simple visual cue that allows 
you to see from across the room that your shredder is safe and secure.

To open the Protective Cover,

 simply press the button on the 

front of the machine.  This releases the cover and the front 
button will pop out.  The cover will then pop up.  For use, lift the 
cover to the open position.  The shredder is now ready for use.

Once the Protective Cover is up,

 it also functions as a 

convenient paper guide for added ease-of-use.

When not shredding, close the Protective Cover. 

 You will 

know it is secure when the cover snaps into place and the front 
button returns to its original position.
