General Maintenance
The shredders are designed to perform consistently
with a minimum amount of maintenance. This section
contains recommendations for external and internal
cleaning, inspection, and lubrication.
External Cleaning
Clean the exterior of the shredder with a soft cloth.
Moisten the cloth with a mild solution of detergent
(such as dish-washing liquid) and warm water. Use
detergent sparingly to avoid contact with electrical
parts.
Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based
products, or aerosol lubricants of any kind. Do not use
chemical cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays to clean
the exterior of the shredder.
Internal Cleaning
The shredder does not require periodic internal
cleaning. However, when the shredder is being serviced
perform the following maintenance tasks:
n
Remove any paper strips or pieces that
may have collected around the cutting
assembly.
n
If lubricated parts are dusty, wipe away the
dust with a soft cloth.
n
Use a small brush or vacuum to remove
dust from the non-lubricated surfaces such
as the motor, cutting assembly, housing,
and wiring.
Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or aerosol
sprays to clean the interior of the shredder.
Inspection
When the shredder is being serviced, visually inspect it
for defects such as loose screws, loose terminals and
connectors, and any other problems you notice.
Correct any defects and test before returning the
shredder to the customer.
