*Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long nozzle container
such as Fellowes 35250
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.
OILING SHREDDER
Set to Reverse (R)
2-3 seconds
* Apply oil
across entry
Set to Off (O)
TROUBLESHOOTING and PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
