Prerequisite Only
This guide is only intended to be used as a prerequisite for other guides. It's incomplete by itself.

Introduction

To replace anything in the paper shredder, the front and back panel needs to be removed to access the shredding component. Screws will be removed and the panels will be easily taken off.
