Current Limit Adjustment - Fellowes 220-2 Technical & Service Manual

Current Limit Adjustment

The current limit adjustment is preset at the factory.
When a PC board is replaced, this setting may need to
be checked and adjusted. The current limit adjustment
screw is located on the PC board. When adjusted
properly, feeding more than the maximum
recommended quantity of paper may cause a paper
jam.

goes on and the shredder runs in reverse
for one second to clear the jam) go to

clockwise to increase the capacity. Turn it
counterclockwise to decrease the capacity.
