Best Answer

All shredders need to be oiled with shredder oil. This is the only way to keep them working properly. Dust from the papers you sherd tends to build up inside the shredders blades, which can compact and become like cement. Shredder oil loosens this dust and makes the blades able to move again.

How do you oil a paper shredder?

There are a couple of ways that you can oil a paper shredder. The easiest way is to put shredder oil on a sheet of paper and run it through the shredder. Run it forward. After the paper has made it all the way through, run it backwards. This will ensure all the shredder blades get coated. I recommend oiling your shredder after every time you empty it. If you have visible access to the shredder's blades, you can squirt oil directly into the blades and run the shredder in reverse for about 15-30 seconds. Be sure to go from the far left to the far right, covering everything.
