This will prevent oil spills and can be applied in moderation. Indirect Method The type of shredder that you have makes a difference as well. A micro-cut shredder produces finer particles of paper and has more blades, making it more prone to clogs and therefore requiring more preventative maintenance than a cross-cut shredder.
