Problems and Solutions
Basic Paper Jam
The shredder should automatically eject any minor excess material from the feed opening. Manually remove any unshredded material from the top of the feed opening.
Minor Paper Jam
Place the slide switch in the REV position and pull the remaining sheets of paper out of the feed opening. Remove the unshredded portion of paper from the top and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
Major Paper Jam
1.Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 20 minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2.Plug in the AC power cord and place the slide switch in the AUTO position. If paper was left inside the feed opening prior to the overload, place the slide switch in the REV position, grasp the excess paper from the top, and pull it out. Be careful to not place your fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could result. Clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening. Press the power button. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
Paper Jams and Motor Overload Situations
The shredder is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit. The duty cycle for the shredder is rated for continuous shredding. Recommended running time at maximum capacity is 2 minutes on and 20 minutes off. The shredder will automatically terminate power if any of the following abnormal situations occur:
1.Operating the shredder at the maximum
2.Exceeding the shedding capacity, e.g., inserting more than five sheets of
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic thermal motor overload protection circuit, which terminates power to the shredder. A paper jam could cause the thermal motor overload protection to terminate AC power to the motor. Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition with the AC power turned on.
