Troubleshooting
The following information should provide help if something is not working as would be expected.
Overheating Protection
The shredder switches off automatically in the event of overheating. The status indicator lights up
red.
1
Wait at least 50 minutes until the shredder has cooled down. Observe the minimum clearance
to walls and the information on continuous operation in Technical Data.
Î When the cool down phase has elapsed, the status indicator lights up blue and shredding
is resumed.
Overload Protection
If you have inserted more material than is specified in Section "Technical Data", the status indicator
flashes red and the shredder automatically starts reverse operation for 5 seconds.
1
Pull the material out of the shredder.
Î The blockage has now been cleared.
After the material has been removed from the shredder, the cutting mechanism continues to
run for 3 seconds to clean itself. Wait until the shredder has stopped and the status indicator
lights up blue.
Oiling the Cutting Mechanism
If you want to increase the working life of the shredder, you should oil the shredder's cutting
mechanism at regular intervals.
Special oil and oiled sheets are available for the shredder from HP.
Important!
Risk of property damage through using the wrong oil! Do not use spray oils. Only use
a special oil intended for shredders.
There are various ways to oil the cutting mechanism.
Oiling Using Self-Oiled Paper:
1
Apply the special oil for shredders in several lines horizontally across a sheet of paper.
2
Insert the oiled sheet of paper in the insertion slot.
Î The paper with oil applied is inserted and oils the cutting mechanism.
Oiling Using Oiled Sheets
