MAINTENANCE

For best performance it is recommended that you oil the cutting blades whenever a decrease in shred

capacity is noticed. Follow the steps below to oil your cutting blades (see Figure 5).

1. Pour a stream of shredder oil onto a sheet of paper.

2. Turn the shredder on and shred the lubricated sheet.

3. When shredding is complete, switch the shredder into reverse to help distribute the lubricant

across the cutting blades.

4. Repeat as necessary.

WARNING: GBC recommends only the Shredmaster lubricant which is a non-flammable, non-

aerosol and biodegradeable formula. The use of other lubricants, areosols or pump sprays may

be a fire or combustion hazard due to the solvent content, atomization or the propellant.
