#Staples mailmate shredder m7 how to#
So this time I’ll show you how to open the shredder and how to replace the internal fuse with a circuit breaker. It also saves about 37 bucks (the price of a new shredder minus the circuit breaker) and it is environmental friendlier to repair than to replace. I could have just bought a new shredder and I really was on the verge, but I really love my Mailmate.
The fuse blew again, and getting the shredder open just consumed so much time the first time that I decided to replace the fuse with a resettable circuit breaker. It took some time to find out how to open up the shredder, but eventually I got the job done and the shredder worked again…. I just love the size and design and the fact that it cross cuts (rather than just stripes) my documents, credit cards and CDs.Īfter some heavy use last year during tax preparation, the internal fuse blew. I bought a Staples Mailmate shredder some 6 years ago while living in the US.
