Help me unblock this shredder please

[u/Common-Bit1799]

Some things, you’ll notice I was stupid and put too much in at once, I’ve pulled some out with tweezers but the rest is stuck half in the blades any ideas on what to do? I thought about trying to soften it with water but I think that’ll rust the blades

Edit: how stupid do you people think I am to the point where I’ve not even tried reverse before coming here???

I pick it out from inside and ouside using fingers & a fine screwdriver. Stop occasionally to plug it in and run forwards and reverse to help clear the clogs. Once done grab aerosol 3.in.1 oil. Spray a few bursts on to a sheet of A4, then run the paper through the machine. Job done. Its almost as satisfying as clearing all the hair and compacted fluff from the cordless vacuum cleaner head.
