Microfiche and transparencies can also be shredded in the same manner as paper. However, you should shred a piece of paper after every 8 or 10 sheets of plastic. This helps clean plastic particles out of the shredding mechanism. ALWAYS TURN SHREDDER OFF IF IT WILL BE UNATTENDED FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME CAPACITY Capacity is the number of sheets of 8½" x 11" paper that can be shredded at one time. These figures are approximate and machines may vary slightly due to various conditions. It is not recommended that you try to run your shredder at maximum capacity, as this increases the chance of a paper jam.

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 ½ hour of shredding time to maintain maximum capacity and efficiency.
