Frequently Asked Questions
Why does the P-7 HSM SECURIO B32 benefit from an automatic oiler?
Because a 1 x 5 mm head has the tightest clearances in the range and runs hotter, so it loses performance quickly when dry. The HSM18244 oils the rollers automatically while cutting. That matters more here because P-7 heads sit outside HSM's lifetime roller warranty.
Is oil supplied with the B32 HSM18244?
The source documentation does not confirm whether a filled bottle is included, so plan to order HSM shredder oil with the machine. Stick to HSM's own oil, since a generic lubricant of the wrong viscosity can leave residue on the rollers.
How wide is the SECURIO B32 P-7 with the oiler fitted?
It measures 547 mm (21.5 in) wide, 398 mm deep and 793 mm tall. The oiler adds 50 mm to the width of the standard cabinet. Leave access on the oiler side for bottle changes and space at the front to remove the bin.
Can the HSM18244 shred stapled paper or credit cards?
No. HSM lists paper as the only shreddable material for this P-7 model. Remove staples and clips before feeding, and use another machine for cards or discs. The P-6 B32 at 0.78 x 11 mm is rated for staples and paper clips.
Is the HSM SECURIO B32 HSM18244 NSA listed?
That is not verified. NSA/CSS 02-01 requires a maximum 1 x 5 mm residue plus a current entry on the NSA Evaluated Products List. The particle size matches, but a DIN P-7 rating alone is not NSA approval, so check the EPL before buying for classified destruction.
