TROUBLESHOOTING CONTINUED

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, an index card or 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.

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.
