How to Maintain your Shredder
Use Shredder Lubricant Regularly
• Only use lubricants specifically designed for your shredder, such as shredder lubricant,
shredder lubricant sheets or shredder lubrication pouches.
• NEVER use spray lubricants.
• Follow directions on the shredder lubricant, shredder lubricant sheets or shredder
lubrication pouches.
• Do not touch the cutting surface.
• Continue to recycle waste paper in a normal manner.
When Using Shredder Lubricant Sheets or Pouch
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 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.
When Using Bottled Shredder Lubricant
Apply shredder lubricant directly into the paper feed entrance (Figure 2) and shred paper or
apply a stripe of lubricant across a sheet of paper (Figure 3), then shred the paper as per the
instructions that came with your shredder. After applying lubricant and shredding paper, run
the shredder in reverse for 10 seconds for optimal performance. Reapply lubricant after 30 min-
utes of shredding or a minimum of twice per month to maintain maximum performance. Store
in a cool dry place. Recycle empty bottle whenever possible or dispose of it in normal trash.
