6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your shredder. Lubricating the shredder blades is crucial.
6.1 Using Lubricant Sheets
- Ensure the shredder is in "AUTO" mode.
- Feed one lubricant sheet directly into the shredder's paper entry slot, just like a piece of paper.
- Allow the sheet to be completely shredded.
- After shredding, set the shredder to "REVERSE" for approximately 10 seconds to complete the lubrication process and clear any residue.
Lubricant sheets help sharpen, clean, and lubricate the shredder blades, preventing paper jams and reducing static dust buildup.

|---|---|---|
| Shredder does not start. | Not plugged in; power switch off; waste bin not properly seated; overheat protection activated. | Check power connection; turn power switch to "AUTO"; ensure bin is correctly seated; allow shredder to cool down for 30-40 minutes. |
