TO CLEAN THE SENSORS

CLEANING AUTO-START INFRARED SENSORS

BASIC PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING

Paper detection sensors are designed for maintenance free operation. However, on rare occasions the sensors may become blocked by paper dust causing the motor to run
even if there is no paper present 

(Note: two paper detection sensors are located in the center of the paper entry)

ACCESSORIES

Maintenance is an important part of protecting your investment.  Don’t forget oil and shredder bags. 

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE AND MISCELLANEOUS TROUBLESHOOTING

•  Run shredder once a day in reverse for 15 seconds to clear cutters

•  Empty wastebasket when bin full indicator light is illuminated using bag # 36052 

•  Shredder will not function if the pull-out bin is not pushed all the way in, or if bin needs to be emptied. 

•  When shredding for a prolonged period of time, the motor can become warm and require a cool down period. When this occurs the overheat indicator will alert you to the  
  problem, this model will require 20 minutes to cool down.

•  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.
