OFF
, unplug the
power cord, and remove all paper from the entrance and exit of the feed slot.
• If the shredder is run continuously for long periods of time and the motor overheats, a thermal
safety switch automatically turns off the shredder. If this occurs, slide the power button to
OFF
and do not use the shredder for 30 minutes.
Maintenance
Once a month, drizzle vegetable oil or cooking oil (nothing petroleum based) on a few pieces of

• Repairs must be made by a qualifi ed technician. Do not attempt to repair the shredder
yourself.
• Do not alter the shredder or power cord in any way.
• Do not operate the shredder if it or the power cord appears damaged in any way.
• Always unplug the shredder when moving it or not using it for a long period of time.

reduce the shredder’s performance or cause shock or injury.
