Priming an Oiler
Units with an auto oiler will need to be primed when the oiler is rst set up as well as
every time the oil is changed. A primed oiler means that the oiler is ready to feed oil
into the unit, ensuring the blades are lubricated. Lubrication is necessary for blades to
efciently shred paper without causing damage to the blades. It is very important that
there is enough oil reaching the unit.
Note: the unit will continue to run even if the oiler is out of oil or not sending oil to the
unit. Be sure to watch for the red ashing LED light (B), which indicates there is no oil.
To prime the oiler:
1. Press the POWER button to turn on the machine.
2. Press and hold the REVERSE button until LED (A) no longer blinks red. While
holding the REVERSE button, you will start to see the oil being pulled through the
oil line. For the rst use, hold until you see about one foot of oil in the line.
Note: If LED (A) is ashing, it means the cutting shafts are being automatically oiled. If
LED (B) is ashing it means the oil bottle is empty.
