Is this oil suitable to use on my Staples cross cut shredder, SPL-1506X? Tx.. Pete C

I would guess it can be. But for a fact I do not know. It works fine on my Fellows shredder.

It worked quite well with my shredder.Considering I did not know you had to oil it until it started to squeak.It stopped the noise.

To be honest I'm not sure but I wouldn't see why you couldn't...it works good on my crosscutter

Hello Norman. Thank you for your question. I wish that i could give you a proper answer but i can not. My best suggestion is what i did myself. I called the manufacturer of my product and asked them which particular oil to use. That way you will not have any problems with your expensive chipper. Good luck.

Just plain vegetable oil will do nicely. Put a few drops on a piece of paper and shred it----if you can.

I have normally ran the shredder a few times a week over the course of the year I've owned it. With that said, I've only applied the shredder oil several times during that period. The shredder works as well as it did the first time I ran a stack of papers through it. I think it's recommended that you lubricate the shredder each time you empty the basket, but I've done it far less than that and had no issues. Great product so far.

Get an inexpensive 30 weight oil. What you are oiling is the bar so the blade slides through it without sticking. Since the oil is thrown off, you do not want to spend a lot of money on it. They actually make a chain saw oil that is probably recycled oil but I have not been able to find any.

Thank you for asking. However I am away for awhile and can't answer the oil question. I don't recall in the manual anything about oiling. It didn't appear to need cleaning other then removing paper scraps from the cutters. My previous shredder that was 5 years old didn't require any special cleaning or oiling.

I ran a small engine repair shop for 25 years and I am using my leftover Stihl bar and chain oil, but I am sure any oil labeled for chainsaw bar and chain would work just fine. Hope this helps.

We have had a couple of shredders in the past. We have taken a piece of paper to be shredded and covered the sheet with vegetable oil and then ran it through the shrewder. We do this each time we empty the basket. We now see that there is a 'special oil' to use. Best experience we have to offer.

I had the same problem that you have and was planning to buy a new shredder . Don't do it just take off the excess oil , that's the problem dry the blades and that's it.

Specially formulated oil designed to lubricate and free paper dust from the cutting head of a paper shredder. it is easy to apply and must be done after each full bin.

Funny..I have owned a Royal shredder for 6 years and never once oiled it. I guess I am screwing up...still works like a champ.

Simple. The best way to oil a shredder is to take 1-2 sheets of 8.5" X 11" paper, squeeze the oil in a side to side motion the length of the paper and then feed it into the shredder. As the paper shreds, it will oil the cutting blades.

Yes ... as per the Owner's Manual you should lubricate this shredder. One does this by applying oil to a sheet of paper and feeding into the manual feed slot. There is a video on Swingline's website that shows how this is done

I read on one website that you shouldn't use a lubricant like WD-40 since it's flammable and could start a fire if the shredder is overheated.

No oil is necessary. Part of the reason I bought this shredder. Oil makes such a mess, dries out then gums everything up. Not needed here.

I don't know what the right oil to use is but I used heavy duty gear oil. Mine leaks too but I don't use it enough to worry about. For the price, I'm quite happy with it.
