Frequently Asked Questions
What is in the intimus 78839 case?
Four 1-gallon jugs of intimus cutting-head lubrication oil, for a total of 4 US gallons or roughly 15.1 liters. The case ships in a 13 x 13 x 13 in carton.
Which shredders can use the 78839 oil?
It is the general-purpose intimus oil for cross-cut and particle-cut shredders, including the 45, 60, 120, 130 and 175 series and the 14.x and 16.x industrial machines. It is not specific to one model, and it is the practical size for refilling oiler packages.
Should I buy the 78839 gallons or the 9999943 bottles?
Buy the 78839 gallons if you refill an automatic oiler or run high-volume machines. Buy the 9999943 case of 12 x 16 oz bottles if you hand-oil one or two office shredders. Both contain the same intimus oil in different packaging.
Why does my shredder need oil?
Lubrication keeps the cutting cylinders running freely and holding their rated sheet capacity. The intimus North America warranty also states that failing to lubricate a cross-cut shredder may void coverage, so regular oiling protects both the machine and the warranty.
Is a safety data sheet available for the 78839 oil?
Yes. intimus publishes a safety data sheet for its shredder oil. If your facility requires one on file before accepting chemicals, request it when you order so it can accompany the shipment.
