If the red 'bag full' indicator on the control panel is illuminated, the waste container is full. The shredder
will automatically shut off. To resume shredding, the plastic waste bag must be changed.
If the red 'door open' indicator on the control panel is illuminated, the cabinet door is open and the
shredder will not operate. This is for safety reasons. To resume shredding, simply push the cabinet door
closed.
The shredder is protected against excessive current draw with a built-in circuit breaker. Should the
shredding unit overheat, the thermal overload device will automatically de-energize the machine.
Should this occur, allow a brief cool down period, then press the red reset button on the back of the
machine. When this button stays in without popping out, you are again ready to start shredding.
LUBRICATION
Important: To prevent jamming and/or clogging the shredder, it is necessary to periodically lubricate the
cutting unit. The following procedure is simple and only takes about 30 seconds.
For every ten minutes of continuous shredding, stop shredding and alternately run the machine folWard
and then reverse several times to clear the cutting unit. Using 5EM shredder oil, we recommend squirt-
ing oil onto a piece of paper, using an '5' shaped motion. Too much oil is better than not enough. Feed
the paper into the shredder. Once paper has fed through, run machine in reverse and then in folWard
again. This will allow the oil to distribute over all the cutters. You are again ready to start shredding.
Two to three preventative maintenance calls per year are recommended.
Only authorized service personnel should be allowed to service the shredder.
Important: Always unplug the shredder before performing any maintenance.
If shredding capacity drops or the machine jams easily, clean and lubricate
the cutting system as outlined in the "Lubrication" section of this manual.
Note: If the shredder will not power up. check 80MA 250VAC fuse on the
control circuit board.
For ease of maintenance and repair, the top cover can be easily opened by removing the two screws
on the back of the shredder and lifting the rear of the cover forward. You should now have access to
the control circuit board, where the 80MA fuse is located.
