PARA LIMPIAR LOS SENSORES

ACCESORIOS

El mantenimiento es una parte importante de proteger su inversión. No olvide el aceite y las bolsas para destructora.

MANTENIMIENTO PREVENTIVO Y SOLUCIÓN DE PROBLEMAS VARIOS

• Haga funcionar la destructora una vez al día en retroceso durante 15 segundos para liberar las hojas de corte

• Vacíe el cesto para papeles cuando la luz indicadora de papelera llena esté iluminada, con la bolsa nro. 36052

• La destructora no funcionará si la papelera extraíble no está completamente introducida o si es necesario vaciarla.

• Si utiliza la destructora durante un período prolongado, el motor puede calentarse y requerir un período de enfriamiento. Cuando esto ocurra, el indicador de sobrecalentamiento le
avisará del problema; este modelo requiere 30 minutos para enfriarse.

LIMPIEZA DE LOS SENSORES INFRARROJOS DE INICIO AUTOMÁTICO

MANTENIMIENTO Y SOLUCIÓN DE PROBLEMAS BÁSICOS DEL PRODUCTO

Los sensores de detección de papel están diseñados para operar sin mantenimiento. Sin embargo, en raras ocasiones, es posible que los sensores se bloqueen con polvo de
papel, lo que hace que el motor funcione aun sin papel

(Nota: Hay dos sensores de detección de papel ubicados en el centro de la entrada de papel).

ACEITADO DE LA DESTRUCTORA

PRECAUCIÓN

*Use sólo aceite vegetal que no sea en aerosol en los contenedores de boquilla larga como el Fellowes No. 35250

REALICE EL SIGUIENTE PROCEDIMIENTO DE ACEITADO Y REPÍTALO DOS VECES.

*Aplique aceite en
la entrada

• Todas las destructoras de corte cruzado necesitan aceite para brindar un máximo rendimiento. Si no se aceita una máquina, ésta podría experimentar una menor capacidad de hojas,
ruidos molestos al destruir y, en última instancia, podría dejar de funcionar. Para evitar estos problemas, le recomendamos aceitar la destructora cada vez que vacíe la papelera.

• 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.
