Amazon Basics Micro Cut Paper Shredder Sharpening & Lubricant Sheets
Model: SP12A
Introduction
The Amazon Basics Micro Cut Paper Shredder Sharpening & Lubricant Sheets are designed to maintain the optimal performance of your paper shredder. These convenient sheets sharpen, clean, and lubricate the shredder blades, helping to prevent paper jams and reduce static dust and buildup. Regular use ensures extended life and efficient operation for your shredder.
Product Features
- 12-Pack: Contains 12 individual sharpening and lubricant sheets.
- Triple Action: Sharpen, clean, and lubricate shredder blades simultaneously.
- Jam Prevention: Helps prevent paper jams and reduces static dust buildup.
- Easy to Use: No messy oil application required; simply feed like a regular sheet of paper.
- Universal Compatibility: Suitable for all paper shredders with an 8-9/16-inch or larger paper-entry width.
Setup
No specific setup is required for the sharpening and lubricant sheets themselves. Ensure your paper shredder is plugged in and powered on, ready to accept paper. It is recommended to use these sheets when your shredder's waste bin is full or after significant shredding activity.
Operating Instructions
- Prepare the Shredder: Ensure your shredder is turned on and set to the 'Auto' or 'On' position.
- Insert Sheet: Take one Amazon Basics sharpening and lubricant sheet. Feed the sheet directly into the paper entry slot of your shredder, just as you would a regular piece of paper. The shredder will automatically pull the sheet through.
- Allow Processing: Let the shredder completely process the sheet. The internal lubricant and sharpening agents will clean and condition the blades as the sheet passes through.
- Reverse Cycle (Recommended): After the sheet has been fully shredded, engage the shredder's 'Reverse' function for approximately 10-20 seconds. This helps to distribute the lubricant evenly across the blades and clear any remaining debris.
- Empty Waste Bin: Once the reverse cycle is complete, turn off and unplug the shredder. Empty the waste bin to remove shredded paper and any accumulated dust or debris.

Maintenance
For optimal shredder performance, it is recommended to use a sharpening and lubricant sheet each time you empty your shredder's waste bin, or at least twice a month if the shredder is used frequently. This routine helps to keep the blades sharp, clean, and lubricated, ensuring smooth operation and extending the life of your shredder.
Troubleshooting
- Frequent Jams: If your shredder experiences frequent jams, it may indicate dull or unlubricated blades. Using a sharpening and lubricant sheet can often resolve this issue by cleaning and sharpening the cutting mechanism.
- Reduced Shredding Capacity: A decrease in the number of sheets your shredder can handle at once might be due to dull blades. Regular use of these sheets can restore the shredder's cutting efficiency.
- Increased Noise: Excessive noise during shredding can sometimes be a sign of friction due to lack of lubrication. The lubricant sheets help reduce friction and noise.
