Shredder oil is the only lubricant which should be used on your shredder. Shredder oil is of special formulation which leaves no residue on the cutters. Other oils will attract paper dust and in turn clog the cutting head. Do or Do not, there is no try - Yoda.
As a general rule, cross-cut shredders require more frequent oiling than strip-cut shredders. Higher DIN level shredders also need to be oiled more frequently. In addition, the type of material that you are shredding will also have an impact on how often you need to oil your machine. However, as a rough guide, itâs a good idea to oil the shredder every time the waste bin/bag is emptied. You can also refer to your shredderâs manual as there may be a recommendation as to how often your specific shredder should be oiled.
