Troubleshooting

• If a jam occurs and the cutter stops, slide the power button to REV and pull out the jammed
paper.
• If paper is jammed in the shredder blades, please slide the power button to OFF, unplug the
power cord, and remove all paper from the entrance and exit of the feed slot.
• If the shredder is run continuously for long periods of time and the motor overheats, a thermal
safety switch automatically turns off the shredder. If this occurs, slide the power button to OFF
and do not use the shredder for 50 minutes.

Maintenance

Once a month, drizzle vegetable oil or cooking oil (nothing petroleum based) on a few
pieces of paper and feed them through the shredder.

Cautions

• Repairs must be made by a qualifi ed technician. Do not attempt to repair the shredder yourself.
• Do not alter the shredder or power cord in any way.
• Do not operate the shredder if it or the power cord appears damaged in any way.
• Always unplug the shredder when moving it or not using it for a long period of time.
• Do not shred wet paper, carbon paper, or vinyl or plastic bags. Shredding these items may reduce
the shredder's performance or cause shock or injury.
• Empty the wastebasket regularly to ensure that the paper slot does not become blocked.
• Do not use garbage bags with this shredder. Garbage bags could prevent the shredder
wastebasket from being correctly mounted, which would prevent the shredder from functioning
properly.
