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).

OILING SHREDDER

All cross-cut and micro-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 or
every 15-30 minutes of continuous use.

Feed paper straight
into paper entry and
release
