- A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
- Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning it,
moving it, or emptying the waste basket.

TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED
The shredder runs in "Rev" mode but not in "Auto" 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 inser
t paper to be shredded. It is normal for the motor to run for a moment after
setting it to "Auto" but it should stop until paper is inserted. The trigger 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 hitting the switch. It is possible that the trigger, which activates the shredder, has become
blocked with paper. Insert an index card, directly in the center of the feed slot, and apply force. This
will usually clear any paper blocking the switch and force the switch closed.
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 effectively
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 stubborn 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, a rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card, folded file 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.
Inser
t 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.
