5 Transportation, installation
• During transport, observe the high centre of gravity of
the paper shredder!
• Place the pallet with the shredder in its packaging on
a smooth, level surface.
• Observe the instructions for unpacking.
• If you need to move the shredder through narrow
doors, you can wait until it is at its final location before
fitting the loading tray. Without the tray, the machine is
only 880 mm wide.
• The shredder may only be placed in dry rooms on a
hard, level floor – not on carpets. The floor load on
each roller is approximately 150 kg.
• The machine must be connected to a power source
which meets the specifications on the nameplate.
Make sure the power cable is unobstructed and that
nobody can tread on it.
Mount the loading table onto the unit:
• Remove screws (1) and (2) from the frame.
• Fasten the supports to the frame with the screws (2).
• Place the table on the supports. Make sure the oil
hose is not bent. Fasten the table above (1) to the
frame.
• Screw the table on with the hexagon bolts (1) also at
the bottom of the frame and fasten to the supports
with the bolts (3) and nuts (4).
Mount the oil hose onto the unit (only cross
cut machines):
• Guide the hose through the recesses in the table to
the oiler and shorten the hose.

dust tray is fully pushed in.
Emptying the dust tray
9 Maintenance and care
Cleaning the cutting block
Strip cut machines: (1 x daily)
• Switch off the shredder.
•
Squirt special cutting apparatus oil through
the paper feed opening onto the blade rollers.
Order no. 1.235.997.403 for a 250 ml bottle
Order no. 1.235.997.501 for 5 litre container
• Let the cutting apparatus run forwards and
backwards several times without feeding
in any paper.
`This loosens paper dust and particles.
Cross cut machines:
If the cutting quality de-
teriorates or the machine
becomes noisy:
• Let the shredder run without
feeding in any paper.
• Push the lever of the oiler
down several times.
• Make sure the oil level in
the container is between the
MIN and MAX markings.

Checking the chain tension (once every week in
the first month, afterwards once per month)
• Switch off the shredder.
• Pull out the power plug.
• Remove the left and right side covers.
The sagging of the short chain should be 2 to 9 mm in
the first month, afterwards 4 to 11 mm, the sagging of the
long chain 4 to 11 mm in the first month, afterwards 5 to
15 mm.
If you need to tighten the chain:
• Loosen the attachment screws (1) of the motor base.
• First move the motor (A) with the tension screws (2)
until the sagging of the chain has reached the postu-
lated value.
• Retighten the attachment screws (1) of the motor (A).
• Position the motor (B) and retighten its attachment
screws (1).
• Reinstall the covers.
Note:
Do not tighten the chain too much, as this will cause pre-
mature wear on the chain and bearings.

Greasing the drive chains and cogs (twice
yearly)
• Switch off the shredder.
• Pull out the power plug.
• Remove the left and right side covers.
• Grease the cogs and the drive chains from
the motor to the cutting apparatus, the cut-
ting block to the feed belt and the cutting
block to the regulating roller.
Recommended lubricating grease: K2K in
accordance with DIN 51502/DIN 51825
• Reinstall the covers.
Maintenance work on the inlet conveyor belt
Checking the stripping device
• Lift the safety flap. You can now see the stripping de-
vice.
Caution cutter rolls! Cutting injuries are pos-
sible even when the paper shredder is idle.
Always wear protective gloves!
Check whether the stripping device is flush with the con-
veyor belt. Otherwise it must be readjusted:
• Loosen the countersunk screws of the clamping strip
- this allows to move the stripping device.
• Align the stripping device and retighten the counter-
sunk screws.
If the stripping bar is worn, it must be replaced. The area
below the stripping device should be cleaned at the same
time.

Tightening the feed belt
The feed belt should not slip when loaded with material.
• Switch off the shredder.
• Remove the feeding table and the left and
right side covers.
• Loosen the hexagon nuts (1) of the tension roll on the
left and right side.
• Loosen the lock nuts (2) of the tensioning bolts (3).
• Tighten the feed belt evenly using the tensioning
bolts.
Note:
Only tighten the feed belt until it stops slipping. The feed
belt bearing may be damaged if it is tightened too much.
• Tighten the hex nuts on the snub roller and
the lock nuts on the tensioning bolts again.
Reinstall the covers and the table.
You must check that the feed belt runs
straight:
Switch on the shredder and let it run for
10 minutes. During this time, the feed belt
must run in the middle of the snub roller. If it
slips to the left or right edge, you must alter
the setting of the snub roller.
Checking the feed belt for wear
The surface of the feed belt can become worn after long
periods of use. If you can see the fabric inlay in the belt, it
must be replaced. Please notify our customer service.

• Remove the covers on both sides.
The stripping brush below the conveyor belt is now
accessible.
If the stripping brush is not flush with the conveyor
