DAHLE Shredder Oil is the only lubricant you should use in your paper shredder.
It has been specially formulated so as not to leave any residue that could attract
dust and clog the shredding mechanism. You can order DAHLE Shredder Oil from
your local dealer.
Repairs on your paper shredder should only be performed by qualified technici-
ans. If you need service, contact your local dealer, or you can contact DAHLE
North America Customer Service between 8:30 am and 5:00 pm EST at (800) 995-

ALWAYS TURN SHREDDER OFF IF IT WILL BE UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME
CARING FOR YOUR SHREDDER
Clean covers with a clean dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Make sure you
disconnect your shredder from its power source before cleaning.
Paper shredders, like all mechanical equipment, need proper maintenance to
ensure efficient operation. Periodic lubrication of the cutting blades is important to
offset the friction generated within the cutting head. Frequency of lubrication will
vary depending on the shred size and the amount of usage. A strip-cut shredder
receiving light use (1 – 2 hours per week) will require lubrication only once or twice
a month, while the same machine used 1 – 2 hours per day will require lubrication
weekly. A cross-cut shredder should be lubricated every
1
/
2
hour of shredding time
to maintain maximum capacity and efficiency.
The procedure for lubricating your shredder is simple, and can be performed by
any operator. The oil is packaged in a squeeze bottle and is applied directly to the
cutting blades through the feed opening (3). Run a fine stream of lubricant from
one side of the feed opening to the other. Run the shredder in REVERSE for a few
seconds to help distribute the lubricant evenly. You can now continue shredding as
usual.
