Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

As with all types of machinery, document shredders will not operate efficiently unless properly maintained. The most effective way to care for a shredder is to oil it regularly.

Oiling is an essential part of shredder maintenance as it maintains maximum performance and it is therefore necessary in order to maintain warranty coverage.

Shredding produces a surprising amount of paper dust which builds up inside the cutting assembly. Without frequent oiling, the accumulated sediment compacts into hard lumps like cement, putting strain on the overall cutters, motor, gears and bearings. Failing to oil a shredder will inevitably reduce its lifetime.

Swordfish Shredder Oil comes in two handy varieties to suit your model of shredder and the frequency at which it is likely to require oiling.

Product Description

Applied at least once a month, Swordfish Shredder Lubricant maintains maximum performance and extends the life of your shredder. Simply apply a strip of lubrication across the sheet of paper and shred. This will help your machine to run smoothly, quietly and efficiently. Suitable for use with all types of shredder.. . . . . . . . . .

Shredder lubricant. 30 July 2010
Easy to apply and appears to do exactly as it says. Just put a line of oil on a piece of paper and run thru the shredder - couldn't be easier!

At some point we have heard horror stories about personal details being retrieved from our waste-paper bins and used to fund crime. So we can buy a shredder to cope.

Why do I need to use this specific type of oil?

But do you know that chopped and compressed waste paper without lubricant of any type can blunt the blades of the shredder and even stress its rotary bearings and cause its premature failure? The answer is to use a specific grade of oil to extend it useful life. If the oil is a heavy type this will also accelerate the wear and tear on the blades. The answer is to apply a specific light grade of oil to avoid clogging the blades and making the blades fail before its time.

The oil just requires two rules to make the most of it

@1 Every time you fill the shredder bin, find a scrap A4 sheet of waste paper and cover it well with the oil. Turn on the shredder and feed it into the shredder. Then turn it off and remove the electrical plug from the mains

@2 Remove the shredders waste bin to access the rotary blades. Remove the mains plug. By observation, remove any bits of paper around the blades and around its rotary bearings.

Then put the empty waste capture bin back into the shredder and jobs done! The plan will help to extend the useful life of your device.

This is an essential product if you have a cross cut shredder. My machine was struggling a bit before I used this product and it has made the cutting smoother and less noisy. Read more

Lubricious
Sorry to be so prosaic. It's just shredder lubricant, after all. It "does exactly what it says on the tin".

Vital to use it
My cross-cut shredder was alwasy jamming with paper bits impossible to clear till I used this. Since then - no problems.

Must be better than not using any at all.
I purchased this along with a replacement shredder. I didn't oil my previous shredder until it started to groan, so I hope that a regular squirt should keep the new one functioning... Read more
