Before trying anything I suggest, make sure your shredder isn't plugged in.
You will need to remove the adhesive from the rollers. You will need to use a glue solvent on the shredder rollers,something like Goo Be Gone. Personally, I still use Ronsonol Lighter Fluid In the image below I've outlined the supplies you'll need to, hopefully, clear your jam.
Without disassembling your shredder, the best way to clear your jam is to use Rosonol Lighter Fluid (3), tweezers (4), and dental picks (5).
- Make sure you are working in a well ventilated area. Separate the shredder from its shredded paper collection tub.
- Turn the shredder head upside down so that the paper output is facing up.
- Pour Rosonol lighter fluid on both sides of the rollers near where they come together.
- Use dental picks and tweezers to dislodge stuck paper pieces
- Turn Shredder head over and repeat steps 3 and 4
- Move power switch to the "Off" position
- Plug power cable back in
- Move power switch to "Rev" (reverse) position, if still stuck move power switch to the "Fwd" position, repeat twice
- Repeat steps 1 - 8 until the rollers move freely
Once the rollers are moving smoothly you need to oil the rollers.
