Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your shredder, check the symptoms and remedies below. 
If you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Black & Decker paper shredders 
Customer Service.  

Do not open shredder head to attempt repair:  It could expose 

you to electric shock and will void your warranty.

Maintenance

Regular emptying of the bin is important to ensure the smooth operation of the cutting 
cylinders.  The shredder will not operate when the bin is full.  Regular oiling is also necessary 
for proper performance.  It is recommended to use shredder oil every few weeks. Apply 
across shredder entry, then run a single sheet through. Shredder oil can be purchased by 
calling 1-800-297-5028.

Cleaning

Always unplug the shredder before cleaning!
•  Only clean the shredder by wiping the unit with a dry soft cloth or towel.
•  Do not clean or immerse shredder in water. Getting the unit wet may result in damage or 

malfunction to the electrical components. If the shredder happens to get wet, be sure to 
completely dry the unit immediately with a soft cloth or towel. If shredder does get wet,  it 
should be left unplugged for several hours.

•  Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious injury or 

damage to the shredder.
