• Always keep the shredder, wheels and air vents clean. Use a
brush or cloth to clean it, avoid using cleaners and solvents.
• Always check the shredder, especially the guards to
ensure they are not worn down or damaged, and firmly
attach before use.
• Check that the nuts, bolts and screws are tight.
• Check the covers and guards for damage and improper
attachment. If necessary, change the components.
• Keep the shredder in a safe, dry place out of children’s
reach. Do not cover the shredder in nylon bags, as
moisture may develop.
