A small piece of paper may be

blocking the auto-start sensor. Move

the power switch to the 

p o s i t i o n

and unplug the shredder. Tu r n

shredder over and use a toothpick

(from the underside of the unit) to

clear the paper blockage at the auto-

start sensor (center) location. 
A small piece of paper may be causing

the auto-start feature to run

c o n t i n u o u s l y. Move the power switch

to the 

position and unplug the

s h r e d d e r. Use a toothpick (from the

top of the unit) to clear the paper

blockage at the auto-start sensor

(center) location. 
This is normal. The shredder runs a

few seconds longer than the paper in

order to keep the cutters clear of 

paper particles and reduce the

chances of a jam.

This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which

prevents the motor from overheating with extensive use. W h e n

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. (N O T E :

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

A U TO and shredder will run for about two seconds. If jam

does not clear, move power switch to R E V E R S E 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 O F F if shredding is complete.
