Are you supposed to open or separate the sheets or something? Didn't notice any change in the teeth after running a sheet through. Didn't look lubri

I didn't do anything other than run it through. My problem was extremely dull cutting edges, so I used a combination of the lubricating sheets and aluminum foil... maybe you need to expend another lubricating sheet (if you've used the machine a lot and never lubricated before?)... I'm sorry I can't be more helpful!

I haven't tried, but how did you open the pillow? The filling feels nice and fluffy, but couldn't tell you what's inside there. After 4 straight days of use, the filling is just as fluffy as it was brand new.

I think it's the way your mouth guards are formed. If you did them on your own like I did, mine are uneven. It's not so easy to put them in hot water and then put them in your mouth to form them, consequently they do not fit to your teeth properly.

Push the orange button toward the blades to open. This is a problem with these and I have to do this a little too often. I have been thinking that maybe some spray lubricant might help. They tend to tighten up.

I haven't had that problem so far, but the teeth on my unit are still very sharp. I can see where that could happen after the teeth get dull. The only issue I have had is that when a tooth gets and nick in it, finding which tooth to turn can be difficult.

use chap stick as a lube on the nut after filing lowE string slot. this should help. do this every time you change strings.

In my opinion, since the instructions don't state how often, it depends how many sheets are being shredded. Since the lubricant sheet only lubricates the outsideof the blades, the more sheets being shredded, the more lubricate being soaked up. If you hear the shredder bogging down, use a lubricate sheet.

I dipped mine holding them with tongs in a bowl of hot water that I heated in my hotshot after it sat for a few minutes, (not boiling temp but really hot) and only held them in the water until I noticed them get limp/loose. I did one tray at a time and sucked them to the roof/bottom of my mouth and then bit down. After they formed I put them in a bowl of cold water to make sure the form stayed. I use them with a whitening gel that I bought on Amazon that is 10% formula and they work great.

Mine doesn't do that, and I'm not a mechanic. Lubrication sounds reasonable, but I don't know. Sorry.

You mean your teeth didn't get any color on them? It usually takes me a while to get the color off. Better yet, just go to Ora wellness website for a good brushing technique and you're not going to need these anymore.

I had the same problem and couldn't remember how to get the battery out. The unit separates at the point where the light gray meets the darker gray. Just pull hard enough at that point and the battery compartment will pull out. What probably happens is that it gets residue on the plastic or age just causes it to become more difficult due to not opening it frequently. If you pull hard enough, it will open. It is a single AAA battery that is needed.

Hello Ann! My personal rule of thumb is after about a thousand sheets of paper have beed shreded or every 6 months... which ever comes first. Thats what has worked for me. These oil sheets are great and circumvent a mess every time you need to lubricate your machine. Have a great day! Ed

I use the plastic scraper with teeth that is sold for the purpose. I also use the scrubby side of a sponge with dish detergent. Works every time.

I never used these, I sent back immediately after finding out I have to wear on teeth all night. I opted for the 15% that stays in the tray they provide for 15 minutes, more my style. And it seems to work

Hi, it has been a few months and i have not had the need to use the lube. Seems to be working like new and i use it quite often and i try to keep it clean. Sorry, i just read the blades part..i don't use the blades from this.

I would suggest using real water based lube .... cleans up easier and will keep the product in great shape.

My unit does the same thing with the tray, may try to put something to lube that piece to help with this issue.I would contact the maker regarding the second problem. This unit is quieter than the other unit. Good Luck!
