PRODUCT MAINTENANCE
TROUBLESHOOTING
All high security 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.

Paper detection sensors are designed for maintenance free operation. However,
on rare occasions the sensors may become blocked by paper dust causing the

located in the center of the paper entry).
