Manutenzione
Una manutenzione regolare garantisce la longevità e le prestazioni ottimali del vostro distruggidocumenti.
Pulizia: Disconnect the power cord before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the exterior of the shredder. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. For the cutting blades, you may use specialized shredder oil sheets or liquid oil applied to a sheet of paper, then shred it.
Oliatura lama: To maintain cutting performance and reduce wear, oil the shredder blades periodically (e.g., after every 30 minutes of continuous shredding or when performance decreases). Follow the instructions provided with your shredder oil product.
Svuotamento del cestino dei rifiuti: Always empty the waste bin before it becomes overfilled. Overfilling can lead to paper jams and strain the motor.
