Unplug it for safety, turn it upside down so that you can see the teeth/gears. Clean the paper bits out with a stiff brush until no more will come out. Plug back in and shred a small piece of paper so that the teeth/gears will be in a different position when they stop. Repeat the process until the excess amount of sticky paper/envelope glue has been removed. Tip: a few drops of sewing machine or light 'machine' oil on the teeth/gears will prevent paper and glue buildup. You can just oil a few pieces of paper and feed them through in different positions so that the whole length will get coverage.

How do you oil a paper shredder?

There are a couple of ways that you can oil a paper shredder. The easiest way is to put shredder oil on a sheet of paper and run it through the shredder. Run it forward. After the paper has made it all the way through, run it backwards. This will ensure all the shredder blades get coated. I recommend oiling your shredder after every time you empty it. If you have visible access to the shredder's blades, you can squirt oil directly into the blades and run the shredder in reverse for about 15-30 seconds. Be sure to go from the far left to the far right, covering everything.
