BASIC PRODUCT MAINTENANCE AND TROUBLESHOOTING
OILING SHREDDER
FOLLOW OILING PROCEDURE BELOW AND REPEAT TWICE
All cross-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.
*Only use a non-aerosol vegetable oil in long nozzle container such as Fellowes 35250
