Cool-Down Cycle
This shredder is protected with a special safety feature which
prevents the motor from overheating with extensive use. W h e n
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. (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.
