CARING FOR YOUR SHREDDER
Clean covers with a clean dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Make sure
you disconnect your shredder from its power source before cleaning.
Paper shredders, like all mechanical equipment, need proper maintenance to
ensure efficient operation. Periodic lubrication of the cutting blades is important
to offset the friction generated within the cutting head. Frequency of lubrication
will vary depending on the shred size and the amount of usage. A strip-cut
shredder receiving light use (
1 – 2 hours per week
) will require lubrication only
once or twice a month, while the same machine used 1 – 2 hours per day will
require lubrication weekly. A cross-cut shredder should be lubricated every ½
hour of shredding time to maintain maximum capacity and efficiency.
The procedure for lubricating your shredder is simple, and can be performed by
any operator. The oil is packaged in a squeeze bottle and is applied directly to
the cutting blades through the feed opening (3). Run a fine stream of lubricant
from one side of the feed opening to the other. Run the shredder in REVERSE
for a few seconds to help distribute the lubricant evenly. You can now continue
shredding as usual.
DAHLE Shredder Oil is the only lubricant you should use in your paper
shredder. It has been specially formulated so as not to leave any residue that
could attract dust and clog the shredding mechanism. You can order DAHLE
Shredder Oil (item # 740) from your local dealer.
Repairs on your paper shredder should only be performed by qualified
technicians.
