Cleaning and maintenance

WARNING: Dangerous mains voltage!

Improper handling of the machine can lead to an electric shock.

Switch the shredder off before relocating or cleaning it and disconnect the mains plug. Service work that requires the housing covers to be removed may only be carried out by HSM Customer Service and service technicians of our contractual partners. See page 204 for our customer service addresses. Clean the document shredder only with a soft cloth and a mild soap-water solution. However, no water must enter the equipment.

Oil the cutting unit when cutting performance decreases or the device becomes noisy, or every time you empty the waste container. Only use HSM special lubricating oil for the cutting unit to do this:

• Spray the special cutting unit oil through the paper feed along the entire width of the cutting shafts.
• Let the cutting unit run in the permanent mode for about 10 seconds without any paper.

Paper dust and particles are shaken off.

If the paper from the automatic feed tray no longer feeds into the cutting unit properly, the intake rollers are worn and need replacing. We can provide a replacement kit for you to do this. Please get in touch with our customer services.

• The maximum number of sheets (DIN A4, 70 g/m² or 80 g/m²), fed lengthways, which can be cut in one cycle. The performance data is determined when the motor is cold and the cutting device is freshly oiled. A weaker mains voltage or a different mains frequency to the one specifi ed could result in less sheet capacity and increased noise during op-eration. The sheet capacity can vary depending on the structure and properties of the paper and on the way it enters.

FAQ’s

How often does a shredder need to be oiled?

If you use your shredder occasionally, then oiling your shredder may only be necessary every two months to maintain good performance. If you use your shredder a lot, however, then your best practices are to oil your cross-cut shredder every time you empty the waste bin.

How secure is a cross-cut shredder?

The cross-cutting shredder is classified as secure and is often labeled as medium-security. They cut diagonally to prevent anyone from piecing the shreds back together. The paper ends up in the form of confetti-like pieces. Cross- cut shredders are a great option for ensuring your documents are properly destroyed

Does the paper shredder need oil?

All paper shredders need to be oiled because paper dust builds up inside the cutting assembly. As a guide, oil your cross-cut shredder every 1/2 hour of shredding time.

How long does it take for a paper shredder to stop overheating?

But if shredding periodically over 10 minutes, the shredder may stop running. If the recommended cool-down time is 15 minutes, you would just need to wait 15 minutes before shredding again.

What is the life of a shredder?

The maximum life expectancy of your standard office shredder is around 36 months. If you are shredding on a frequent basis, this life expectancy is drastically reduced. Combine this fact with maintenance and cleaning costs and you are spending a lot more than you think on monthly shredding.

How do you clean a crosscut shredder?

You can purchase a cleaning solution from the store or use mild soap and lukewarm water. Keep in mind that you should never spray a cleaning solution directly onto the shredder. Instead, spray it onto a paper towel or cloth, and then gently wipe down the machine.

How do you clean a crosscut shredder?

You can purchase a cleaning solution from the store or use mild soap and lukewarm water. Keep in mind that you should never spray a cleaning solution directly onto the shredder. Instead, spray it onto a paper towel or cloth, and then gently wipe down the machine.

Can paper shredders be repaired?

Fellowes office/commercial shredders (large shredders that cannot fit under a desk) are repairable and parts will most likely be available. Please do not try to repair the shredder yourself or you will void your warranty.

What is the main benefit of a shredder?

Shredding paper reduces the volume of paper waste. Shredded paper tends to take up less volume in your paper recycle container than un-shredded documents. Shredded paper can also be recycled as mulch, compost, or packing material, reducing waste

How important is shredder oil?

Do paper shredders need lubrication? Yes, every shredder needs lubrication to keep it running smoothly. Regularly oiling your shredder with an official shredder lubricant will improve the lifespan and your shredder’s performance. You can use oil or lubricant sheets to lubricate your shredder.

How does a cross-cut shredder work?

In a cross-cutter, two sets of serrated blades are fitted in opposite directions to each other. The two arrays of blades move simultaneously when cutting up paper, which produces confetti-like pieces of shredded paper that cannot be reconstructed after the destruction process
