A cross-cut shredder should be lubricated every ½hour of shredding time to maintain maximum capacity and efficiency.The procedure for lubricating your shredder is simple, and can be performed byany operator. The oil is packaged in a squeeze bottle and is applied directly tothe cutting blades through the feed opening (3). Run a fine stream of lubricantfrom one side of the feed opening to the other.
