To maintain shredder
performance, refill oil
reservoir with up to
12
oz. (355 ml.)

• 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. We recommend that you refill the Auto OilTM reservoir as instructed for optimum performance.
• If shipping shredder, oil must be drained. Open cabinet door and remove basket to access oil drain plug. Place suitable container under drain,
remove plug and let oil drain out. Replace plug.
AUTO OILTM
Automatically oils the cutters to enhance performance and extend shredder life.
