Safety

When servicing a shredder, observe the following safety precautions:
Never put a hand, fingers, or foreign objects into the paper feed slot or throat.

Keep all loose articles of clothing, ties, jewelry, long hair, or other loose objects away from the

paper feed slot.
 Always turn off and unplug the power cord at the wall outlet before doing any work on a
shredder.
Use only the specified replacement parts. (See the Parts manual).

Wall Mounting
The 325i and 325Ci shredders include a wall mounting kit (PN 31742). This kit is used to secure
the shredder to a wall to comply with UL 60950 stability requirements. The wall mounting kit
contains a spacer that allows the shredder to be mounted slightly away from the wall for proper
ventilation. (Note: This is optional for the end user)

General Maintenance

The shredders are designed to perform consistently with a minimum amount of maintenance. This
section contains recommendations for external and internal cleaning, inspection, and lubrication.

External Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the shredder with a soft cloth. Moisten the cloth with a mild solution of
detergent (such as dish-washing liquid) and warm water. Use detergent sparingly to avoid contact
with electrical parts.
Do not use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based products, or aerosol lubricants of any kind.
Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays to clean the exterior of the shredder.

Internal Cleaning

The shredder does not require periodic internal cleaning. However, when the shredder is being
serviced perform the following maintenance tasks:
 Remove any paper strips or pieces that may have collected around the cutting assembly.
 If lubricated parts are dusty; wipe away the dust with a soft cloth.
Use a small brush or vacuum to remove dust from the non-lubricated surfaces such as the

motor, cutting assembly, housing, and wiring.
Do not use chemical cleaners, solvents, or aerosol sprays to clean the interior of the shredder.

Inspection

When the shredder is being serviced, visually inspect it for defects such as loose screws, loose
terminals and connectors, and any other issues you may notice.
Correct any defects and test before returning the shredder to the customer.
