Maintenance
Regular emptying of the basket is important to ensure the smooth operation of
the cutting cylinders. If paper is within 2 inches of shredder head, turn off and unplug
the shredder, remove the shredder head and empty the basket.
Regular oiling of the shredder
is also necessary to ensure proper performance. If
you are running the shredder at or near capacity, we recommend oiling it monthly.
Using Fellowes Powershred Lubricant #35250 or other non-aerosol vegetable-based
oil in a long-nozzle container:
• Apply oil over full width of paper entry (E) with shredder in off [O] position.
• Press control switch to automatic [I] position which will cause shredder to run for
about 2 seconds.
• Press and hold control switch in reverse [R] position for 3–5 seconds.
• Repeat above automatic [I] and reverse [R] sequence three times.
REMINDER:
Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products or
aerosol lubricants of any kind in or near the shredder at any time.

shock and will void your warranty.
