How to Oil a Shredder Using the Direct Method?

Oiling your paper shredder is not as hard as you think. This video will show you how to use a bottle of shredder oil to directly oil the shredding heads of your paper shredder. This task should be performed every time you change your shredder bag (or at least every other time). The oil will help to eliminate paper dust from building up on the shredding heads and will ensure that you machine performs optimally over time. Well oiled shredding heads also help to reduce the stress on your shredding motor to lengthen the life of your machine.

Welcome to MyBinding How To videos. This video will show you how to oil a shredder using the direct method. Very important is that you use actual shredder oil. These oils are formulated differently than other kinds of oils for your shredder. Some are packaged with an open end that allow you to fill a large container, like an automatic oiler in a larger or more expensive machine. Some are packaged with pour spouts. This is what you'll need for this method. In the direct method of oiling your shredder, you take the shredder oil and pour it directly onto the teeth, or the gears, of the machine, through the throat opening. Be careful to keep the oil inside the machine only. Then turn the rollers on in reverse for a good full minute so the gears are completely coated. And that's it. That's the direct method of oiling your paper shredder. For more articles, demos, how to's, and reviews, check out MyBinding.com.
