IMPORTANT! Oiling Instructions

After 15 to 30 minutes of continuous use, the cutting cylinders must be oiled. To do this, run
the shredder in reverse and squirt oil the length of the cutting cylinders twice. OILING AND
REVERSING the cutting cylinders is critical to maintain life expectancy and sheet capacity
of the shredder.
