How To Maintain Your Shredder
Lubricate Blades Regularly
• Only use lubricants specifically designed for your shredder, such as shredder
lubricant or shredder lubricant sheets.
• NEVER use spray lubricants.
• Follow directions on the shredder lubricant product package.
• Do not touch the cutting surface.
• Continue to recycle waste paper in a normal manner.
When Using Shredder Lubricant Sheets
Never tear or open a shredder lubricant sheet. Please, empty waste basket prior
to use. Shred one shredder lubricant sheet by feeding sheet in the direction on the
arrows, directly into the paper feed entrance as per the instructions that came with
your shredder. After shredding the lubricant sheet completely, run the shredder in
reverse for 10 seconds for optimal performance. Align the first lubricant sheet to
the left of the shredder throat. The next time you use a shredder lubricant sheet
align the pouch to the right of the shredder throat. Continue to alternate between
aligning the pouches to the left and right to ensure the entire cutting mechanism
remains well lubricated. Re-lubricate your shredder by shredding a lubrication
sheet after 30 minutes of shredding or a minimum of twice per month to maintain
maximum performance.
