Cleaning

• Exterior: Wipe the exterior of the shredder with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Shredder Blades: For optimal performance and longevity, regularly oil the shredder blades with a specialized shredder oil. Apply a thin line of oil across the paper entry slot and then run a few sheets of paper through the shredder.

Overheat Protection

The Royal 112MX is equipped with an overheat protection system. If the shredder is used continuously for an extended period, it may automatically shut off to prevent damage. If this occurs, allow the shredder to cool down for approximately 30 minutes before resuming operation.

Troubleshooting
