7.0 Maintenance and Storage
Take care of your machine and clean it regularly to obtain long-lasting efficiency and performance.
Keep the air vents clean and free from dust.
Use only a warm damp cloth and a soft brush to clean your machine.
Never wet or spray water on the machine.
Do not use any detergents or solvents as these could cause irreparable damage to your machine. Chemicals
can destroy the plastic parts.
The tightness of the fastening screws of the undercarriage should be checked from time to time.
To protect the shredder from corrosion when storing it for a longer period, treat the chopping knife with some
ecological oil.
When the machine is stopped for servicing, inspection, or storage, or to change any accessories, shut off the
motor, unplug the connection cable (to disconnect the electric unit from the power supply), make sure
that all moving parts have come to complete stop. Allow the machine to cool down before making any
inspections, adjustments, etc.
Store the machine in a dry place. For extended storage periods, run the unit dry for a short time. Always allow
the machine to cool down before storing it.
When servicing the chopping knife assembly be aware that, even though the motor will not start due to the
interlock feature of the guard, the chopping knife assembly can still be moved by a manual starting mechanism.
