Oiling Your Paper Shredder
A year ago, I never gave it any thought to oiling my paper shredder. It was only when I started researching how to prevent paper jam that I discovered you should oil your paper shredder regularly. If you haven't heard about oiling your shredder, you should look in your shredder manual on what your manufacturer recommends.
Because I have a Fellowes crosscut shredder, I will go over how they recommend I oil my shredder. Remember to proceed with caution as shredders can be dangerous.
Generally you should oil your shredder every time you need to empty the basket; unless you are running it continuously then you might need to oil it every 10 – 15 minutes. That might sound like a lot, but think of what all your shredder is shredding at one time. I use Fellowes Powershred shredder oil, but again check with your shredder manufacturer to find out what they recommend for your model.
Tips: (For these tips, turn off your shredder and unplug it)
- Empty the waste bin of all paper shreds.
- Empty all paper shreds from the shredder opening.
- Using a can of air blow out any particles still lodged between the shredder teeth.
Now proceed to:
Plug the shredder back in and have it turned on
Option 1) "Depress and hold the reverse button down. Put the tip of the oil bottle and squeeze oil across the paper entry, continue to depress the reverse button for another 10 seconds." (See source link below for a video on how to oil your shredder.)
-OR-
Option 2) "Depress and hold the Turbo forward button. Put the tip of the oil bottle and squeeze oil across the paper entry. Release the turbo button and press the Auto-On and shred one piece of paper. Press and hold the Reverse button for 2-3 seconds."
Fellowes also warns "Do not use any oil or lubricant that is dispensed from an aerosol container or that is petroleum-based. Use of such aerosols, oils or lubricants will void the warranty and could create a fire hazard and cause serious damage and/or injury."
Why oil your shredder? Regularly oiling your shredder will prolong the life of the motor, the shredder teeth and will help prevent paper jams. When you don't oil your shredder, the paper particles will cake around the teeth and eventually wear on your shredder motor and cause paper jam.
