• How often should I lubricate my Swordfish paper shredder?

  It is recommended to lubricate your shredder before any intensive shredding session and every time you empty the waste bin to maintain peak efficiency.

  You can install the Swordfish Air unit in either the return duct or the supply duct of your central air (HVAC) unit.

• How often should I replace the UV lamp in my Swordfish Air purifier?

  Swordfish recommends changing the UV lamp every 12 months for optimal performance in killing viruses and bacteria.

• Why is my Swordfish laminator jamming?

  Jamming can occur if the temperature is set too high, if the pouch is inserted open-end first, or if the pouch isn't filled completely leaving empty edges that droop and catch in the rollers.

• What is covered under the Swordfish shredder warranty?

  Swordfish document shredders generally come with a 2-year limited warranty for parts and labor against failure due to faulty components or workmanship. Oiling the shredder is required to maintain the warranty.
