TROUBLESHOOTING
The shredder runs in “Rev (Reverse)” mode but not in “Auto (On)” mode.
a) While in “Auto” mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted into the feed slot.
Set the unit to “Auto” and insert paper to be shredded. The sensor that activates the shredder in
Auto mode is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper you are inserting is narrow,
it may not be activating the optical sensor. It is possible that the feed slot has become blocked
with paper. Insert an index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card, le folder, or a
sheet torn from a cereal box), directly in the center of the feed slot, while applying force to help
push the jammed paper through. This will usually clear any paper blockage.
How to clear a paper jam in the shredder.
a) Switch the shredder over into Reverse (REV) mode. While in Reverse, the shredder will back
up and loosen the jammed paper. If required, you may need to tug and remove several sheets to
eectively clear the machine. When jammed paper is loosened or removed, switch back to the
Auto-On mode to continue shredding. Repeat steps if needed.
b) With dicult situations where the reverse function does not help, you may loosen the jammed
paper with shredder oil (cooking oil is acceptable, nothing aerosol). Start by drizzling oil into the
blades where the paper is jammed. Let it soak for about 30 minutes to completely saturate.
Return the shredder back to Auto-On mode. If required, an index card or a rigid sheet of cardstock
(old greeting card, folded le folder, or a sheet torn from a cereal box) can be fed into the shredder
to help push the jammed paper through.
The shredder is constantly running while in “Auto (On)” mode.
a) It is possible that the activation sensor, which starts the shredder, has become blocked with
paper. Insert an index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card, file folder, or a
sheet torn from a cereal box), directly in the center of the feed slot, while applying force to help
push the jammed paper through. This will usually clear any paper blocking the activation sensor
and feed entry.
