I've had it for a few months and it hasn't needed any service yet except being sure to keep it emptied. To be honest with you I have not done any maintenance on this shredder yet but have considered buying the lubricating sheets at some point.
#Mailmate paper shredder manual#
The manual basically says, "Don't abuse it." If you have specific question the customer service number is: 1-86. As others have pointed out, it does mention not letting the basket to get too full. The instruction manual does not include the " maintenance" word.As another reviewer said, putting a plastic grocery bag inside the bin makes it much easier to dump without the little pieces escaping. You can get those at your local office supply store or from Amazon. On my old shredder, I used a lubrication sheet about once a month which seemed to keep things running.
So far I haven't had to do any maintenance.I had bought some Fellowes Prformance Oil since it seems to be recommended for use with micro shredders. The manual states "DO NOT use flammable synthetic oil, petroleum-based or aerosol products of any kind". So far, this one has also not needed anything. I had my last shredder for about 10 years without doing any maintenance. I do not use the shredder very often and I am careful not to let it run continually for more than 2 mins.WHAT KIND OF MAINTENANCE DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PAPER SHREDDER NEED? I have had mine for 2+ months and use it extensively and never smelled any "burnt rubber smell".not! I only use it occasionally but have never smelled anything like that, sounds like you got a defective unit. I only used it for approximately ten minutes thus far, and I didn't smell anything at all.Just make sure to not feed in thick bunch of papers. I even saw some fumes come out when I shredded my old visiting cards. I have found that mine will start out of the blue and I have to manually turn it off to get it to stop. If it continues, you should return it.If its new you may have some oil burning off but that should only last few times until its clean. I need to empty the bin before it has ever gotten hot enough to turn off and I can shred pretty fast now! I have used mine a lot with some heavy use as I am cleaning out files in a large home office and never smelled anything, definitely no burning smell! One or two reviewers mentioned it would get hot and turn itself off with a lot of use.If I am feeling ambitious, I rip a good part of the plastic off the envelopes before shredding, but not always. About twice a year I flip mine over and use tweezers to pull out anything that gets up in there - usually a bunch of the plastic material from windowed envelopes. I shouldn't have to say to not do this while the unit is plugged in. If you are mechanically inclined, you can flip the unit over and see if anything is stuck in the blades and try to fish it out. If you smell something burning, melting, or if there are "fumes" coming out of your unit, you should probably discontinue using it and get it serviced. I have used this shredder extensively for over a year, and the only normal smells are the off-gassing of the plastic, and the electrical heat smell that a motor makes (similar to the smell your vacuum cleaner or blender makes when in use).DOES THE AMAZONBASICS PAPER SHREDDER COMMONLY SMELL LIKE BURNING RUBBER WHEN USING IT, EVEN IF ONLY FOR A MINUTE? It has a push in and pull out bucket in the front to catch the paper. You can see the blue light in the pictures above and you can see it working and the end results.
It is pre-owned and nd it does work very well. Have a Mailmate paper cross-cut shredder that will cut 20 sheets of paper in one pass.Has been used very little for shredding personal mail and papers and do not have space for it.We moved from a larger home to a smaller one and just must dispense with some of our items. Staples Mailmate paper shredder - $25 (Pittsburg, KS).It has 15 sheet capacity with blade guard.
