IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS — Read Before Using!

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.
