you could also use a pair of sheet metal shears to cut the strips. takes more time but if your worried it will damage the shredder its a good way.

its a paper shredder they make the slit so thin you cant stick you fingers in there ive tried it. i would recommend getting a paper shredder from goodwill or somewhere cheap instead of using your own and possibly ruining it. unless it has a cd shredder
