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 (8), turn off the shredder, pull out 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
month-
ly
. 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.
