my shredder locked up on me also, a couple days ago, i also was shredding too high of case bacca,

i about shit, i thought i had broke it,

i disassembled it, and cleaned out the cutters, and used water to soften up, the bacca that was causing the problem,

i got it going again and blew it with the air hose,

and now all is good,

allthough i did find out one thing, > when something happens to my bacca processing equipment i go in FREAK-OUT MODE,

It gums up. I run dry tobacco but it still gets on the blades and freezes up when exposed to high Rh.Thats what I think happened.

Dump some BEER Down her throat , No chit it works Good.
On another note when I got done using mine this year I ran some paper thru her to clean the cutters and damm what a mess it would not all come out.
So I was cleaning the man cave last night and was moving the shredder and my kid reminded me it had paper strands in it.
So I plugged her in and she was locked up. The cutters were rusted together I got her unjamed and let her run.
I wonder what we can use on the cutters to keep from rusting.
