Oil Indicator
The MANUAL LED will flash after every four (4) hours of operation as an indicator to
oil the shredder cutting blades. The LED will continue to flash until oiled. NOTE: the

TO OIL:
Spread shredder oil onto the cutters through the feed opening, and allow the oil
to sit for a few minutes to permeate the cutting blades, then press the “REV” button and
hold for five seconds. MANUAL and REV LED indicators on control panel will light. The
shredder will operate in reverse for one minute, then the AUTO LED will light indicating
the shredder is ready to operate.
