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. Model 20434 DS 20 Lb. Bond 4 16 Lb.

CARING FOR YOUR SHREDDER Clean covers with a clean dry cloth. Do not use water or solvents. Make sure you disconnect your shredder from its power source before cleaning. 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.
