Fellowes PDS-1 warranty Limited Warranty, Troubleshooting, Cool-Down Cycle, Clearing a Jam

Cool-Down Cycle

This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which prevents the motor from overheating with extensive use. When shredding is attempted beyond the machine's maximum running time, the shredder will automatically shut off its motor until it has cooled to an acceptable operating level. This is normal and the shredder will return to operation after the cool-down or “off” period. See Product Usage Guide (page 2) for maximum running time and related cooling “off” time.

Clearing a Jam

If the shredder sheet capacity is exceeded or paper is not put in straight, a jam may result. See Product Usage Guide ( p a g e 2) for maximum sheet capacity for your shredder.

To clear a jam:

1 . Move the power switch to the REVERSE position. (NOTE: If waste basket is full, empty it before clearing jam.) T h e shredder will reverse the paper to clear the jam.

2 . If the shredder jams in reverse, move the power switch to AUTO and shredder will run for about two seconds. If jam does not clear, move power switch to REVERSE again and allow to run for about three seconds. Repeat this procedure until the jam is cleared. If necessary, grasp the paper carefully and pull out to clear the jam.

3 . Once the jam is cleared, move the power switch to A U TO for continued shredding or OFF if shredding is complete.
