PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
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.

BASIC SHREDDING OPERATION

Overheat Indicator: When the Overheat Indicator is illuminated, the shredder has exceeded its maximum operating temperature and needs to cool down. This
indicator will remain illuminated and the shredder will not operate for the duration of the recovery time. See Basic Shredding Operation for more information about

TO CLEAN THE SENSORS
CLEANING AUTO-START INFRARED SENSORS
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)
.
