Maintenance
Regular emptying of the basket
is important to ensure the smooth operation of the
cutting cylinders. If you can see paper in the basket window (7), turn off the shredder, pull
out the basket and empty basket contents.
Regular oiling of the shredder
is also necessary to ensure proper performance. If you
are running the shredder at or near capacity, we recommend oiling it
monthly
. Using
Fellowes Powershred Lubricant #35250 or other non-aerosol vegetable-based oil in a
long-nozzle container:
• Apply oil over full width of paper entry (1) with shredder in off [O] position.
• Press control switch to automatic [I] position which will cause shredder to run
for about 2 seconds.
• Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position for 3-5 seconds.
• Repeat above automatic [I] and reverse [R] sequence three times.
REMINDER:
Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products or aerosol
lubricants of any kind in or near the shredder at any time.
