Am I the only person in this thread that sees a problem with combining
paper dust, random types of oil, friction and sparks from shredded
staples, all in one spot?

If it needs any lube at all a Teflon dry lube spray is good enough.
One could dampen a sheet of paper with Mobil 1 and run that through
the shredder. Adding wet lube to a dusty environment is overall
unclever.
