Shredders Maintenance

Regular maintenance tasks to keep your shredders running efficiently.

Clear Paper Dust Buildup

Micro-cut and cross-cut shredders generate fine paper dust that coats the sensors and motor, triggering false bin-full alarms and overheating.

Empty Bin Before Compaction

Waiting until the bin is overflowing forces shredded paper back up into the cutting gears, causing severe, difficult-to-clear jams.

Oil the Cutting Blades

Shredder blades dry out, creating friction that slows the motor, causes paper jams, and burns out internal components. Regular lubrication is essential.
