Common questions about manuals, registration, and support for this brand.
Cross-cut shredders should generally be lubricated every 30 minutes of shredding time to maintain capacity and efficiency. Strip-cut models may require less frequent oiling, such as weekly or monthly depending on usage. Always use Dahle Shredder Oil.
Dahle products are warrantied against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship. However, wear, damage due to improper use, or unauthorized modifications are not covered. Specific terms vary by model, with some cutting cylinders carrying longer warranties.
Many Dahle office shredders can handle normal staples and paper clips. However, high-security devices (Security Level P-6 and P-7) are designed for fine shredding and should not be used to shred metal fasteners.
Dahle rolling trimmers feature a self-sharpening blade that sharpens as you cut. The rotary blade rubs against the metal counter blade during use, maintaining a honed edge for precise cuts.
