The quality of paper shredders continues to improve. The major manufacturers have created machines that run faster, quieter, shred larger volumes with greater efficiency and with a variety of electric features. Yet, they are still machines,aand every machine need aintenance to keep t better,runnable. If you neglect them they will break down and not work properly.For paper shredder maintenance you have to follow the steps.

To first step of maintain it better that need periodic oiling to operate at maximum efficiency. How frequently you need to oil the cutting blades will depend on the span of use and the shred size. A cross cut shredder will always need to be oiled more frequently than a strip cut shredder and should be oiled every ½ hour of shredding time. But a ¼” strip cut shredder that is used only 1 to 2 hours per week will need to be oiled just once a week.

The process is really simple and any operator can do it. Keep your shredder’s cutting blades properly lubricated by applying the oil directly onto the cutting head, through the paper entry throat, in a fine stream. It should take about 1-2 seconds to oil from one side of the paper throat to the other. Turn the paper shredder in reverse for about 10-15 seconds, as this will allow the oil to spread to the different areas of the cutting head. The final step is to shred a few sheets of paper to remove any excess oil.

Shredder oil is the only lubricant which should be used in your paper shredder as it is specially formulated to avoid residue build up on the cutting blades. Other oils may attract paper dust which will clog the cutting head.
