Has anyone every tried to unjam a crosscut shredder? There are some
interesting looking screws that might be removed. I am concerned about
trying it because the shredder has to have some contact with the basket
before it will operate. I wonder if I would mess this up by removing the
screws. Thanks.

Mine is a cheapo non-crosscut. I have opened it several times to pick out
the jamming paper shreds. Finally, I figured out that the thing can't
handle thin papers and it can't push paper through when the basket is full.

In short no... Most will have a "roll reverse" in case it jams..

I have a Fellows Powerhouse C-14.. It is a cross cut w/a cd/dvd
cruncher.. Very Nice.. I toss envelopes and CC's in the thing and
gone..
