Lubrication of the Shredder
Kensington recommends using an oil sheet after the bin has been
emptied three times (and every three bin emptying after this).
Insert the oil sheet into the manual feed slot and NOT in
the auto-feed chamber. Using an oil sheet in the auto-feed
chamber will contaminate the feed rollers preventing the
auto-feed mechanism shredding. Follow the maintenance
instructions if the rollers become contaminated.
Maintenance
The rollers on the auto-feed mechanism may become dirty
over time, please wipe clean with a dry cloth to maintain
maximum product performance.
The auto-start infrared sensor, located in the paper feed
entry-slot, can occasionally become covered in paper-
dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being
fed into the machine. Switch the shredder off at the rear
of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a
cotton-swab.
