Staples ID Armor SH2836ID2836 Shredder - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

If you can lift the cutting head up from the waste bin It maybe that the shredder cutters are jammed. Unplug from mains, and lift off top and place upside down. Use a small screwdriver and/or long nosed pliers and poke at any compressed paper wrapped around the blades - can take a while. Give a quick spray to cutters with WD40 Replace - turn on - and run in reverse. If all else fails, contact the maker

This means that sensor located in the middle of feed opening has been jammed in down position. To clear this sensor arm you can try shredding strip of thick cardboard, but running it through in the very centre of the feed opening. Failing that clear the jammed paper using tweezers in addition to that you could soak the blockage between rollers with WD-40 or some lubricant. Give it a good soak, once paper softened and loosened complete clearing jam with tweezers. Your unit will operate like a dream!! Good luck

The machine probably uses a plug like the ones used on computers. It is a smaller plug, like a rectangle with two of the corners tapered. A regular extension cord will not work. Take it back, and look for a power cord for a computer. Take a picture of the plug on the machine you are trying to use before you go to the store. The clerk should be able to help you find the right cord.

kkrenn641: That "horrible noise" is probably caused by the shredder gears meshing improperly. If you disassemble it again and look carefully at the gears, you will most likely see that some are not mating properly... Usually the motor gear and the first idler gear that meshes with the motor gear. If those two gears seem to be separated a bit, or slightly mis-aligned look carefully at where the motor mounts, and you may see that the plastic "bed" where the motor is mounted has melted from heat from the motor. This is caused by using the shredder too long without letting the motor cool down. You may be able to shim the motor housing to realign the gears, if you have the patience!

Unplug it. Take the top off. "Fish" for stuck papers with an unwound paper clip, preferably a long one! Sometimes, you have to help the leftover stuck pieces move along. Thus, remove paper clip, plug it back in, and try shredding some papers. If that doesn't work, fish some more!

Unless, of course, the paper is too wet to be fished out.
Many days of paper-fishing because I didn't empty out the bin enough!


These shredders are designed to be replaced often (so they can sell you a new one).

Take care..

Check on the underside of the shredder, at the top of thespace where the cuttings box is, there are 2 sensors, at either end of theshredder blades. It sounds like these sensors could be either dirty, ordefective. Try to clean these with a cotton bud or similar. It may neednew sensors. Hope this will help you. Good Luck.

The motor is connected to the shredding rollers with gears or a belt. Sounds like they are broken, unplug then take it apart and check.

Go to OfficeMax and buy lubrication paper. Run it through. This should solve the problem. Good luck!!

You don't use liquid oil. At the office supply stores they carry oil sheets that you insert just like shredding something. They come ion various pkgs. Staples and Office Depot stores carry them. They are universal, no model number needed. I hope this helps.

Did you remove the top to clean recently? You may not of installed it correctly. Keeping the saftey switch from making contact. It thinks the top is still off and it won't run without the switch making contact. Try resetting the top a couple of times to insure the switch is tripped.

Look down into the slot to see if the teeth are sharp. They should have little J-hook thingys that look like the teeth in your mouth. If it looks ok, give it some food to chew. If it burps it up, throw it away because its a junker and not worth your time.

Good Luck.

Usually a jammed or bent staple in the throat at the end.

Question edited for clarity and typos. Either mains voltage instability, or the internal switch has gotten a 'hair trigger'. Clean and lubricate. https://www.google.com/search?q=rapid+5080+electric+stapler+troubleshooting ..

It is likely that you are having a mechanical problem with the stapler in this situation. Check to make sure the spring-loaded chute is open and not jammed in the closed position after making sure the stapler is empty of any staples. Try putting the stapler arm back into its resting position by applying pressure on it. If this doesn't work, you'll probably need to disassemble the stapler to find the problem and fix it.
