Overload Protection

To prevent damage of the shredder, the motor has been equipped with a thermal overload 

mechanism. This makes the unit inoperative for a short period of time if it becomes too 

warm. If this occurs, it is necessary to turn off and unplug the unit for at least 20 minutes 

before using it again.

IMPORTANT! Oiling Instructions

After 15 to 30 minutes of continuous use, the cutting cylinders must be oiled.  To do this, 

run the shredder in reverse and squirt oil the length of the cutting cylinders twice.
