FAQs
What is a Level 6/P-7 shredder?
The seven levels of shredder security are P-1 through P-7. P-1 is the least secure, while P-7 is the most secure. The smaller the particles generated by the shredder, the higher the security level. Since most are NSA-approved for use at U.S. federal institutions and permanently destroy private data, paper shredders with the security level P-7 are the optimum shredders for extremely sensitive data protection. That is why confidential and top-secret materials for the U.S. government and military must be destroyed at the P-7 level of security.
Is a cross-cut or micro-cut shredder better for security?
Cross-cut shredders are classified at P-3 and P-4 security levels, making them less secure than micro-cut shredders, which are classified at P-5, P-6, and P-7 security levels. While micro-cut paper shredders are more expensive than cross-cut paper shredders, they offer the maximum level of protection, rendering them the best shredding solution for destroying government-level and sensitive documents.
Why should I need to oil my shredder?
Shredder blades collect paper dust, which settles and compresses over time. Lubricating your shredder regularly reduces dust and sharpens its blades, making the cutting heads easier to operate. It's vital to oil your shredder regularly to preserve its health and extend its life. Failure to do so can result in excessive noise and obstruction.
What is the best way to unjam a paper shredder?
To begin, turn the shredder off and unplug it for safety reasons, and ensure that the waste bin is not full. If the machine remains jammed, remove the shredder's top to gain access to the blades. Remove the paper from the shredder head and the blades from the shredder's base. If required, carefully use a screwdriver to pull out small paper particles lodged within. Ensure that the shredder is operating properly before continuing to feed it with significant quantities of paper. To do this, simply feed a single sheet into the machine. If the machine continues to jam, lubricate it with a small amount of oil and follow the above steps again.
