Troubleshooting
If there is a problem with your shredder, check below for the symptoms and steps to resolve. If you continue to have problems, contact customer support. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR BY
OPENING THE SHREDDER HEAD. This will completely render the manufacturer’s warranty
void.
- Make sure the unit is plugged in and that the outlet is in good working order.
- If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it. This may cause the shredder not to operate properly.
- The activation sensor of the shredder is located near the center of the feed slot. Be sure to feed directly into the center area to activate the machine
The shredder runs in “Rev (Reverse)” mode but not in “Auto (On)” mode.
Set the unit to “Auto” and insert paper to shred. 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. This will usually clear any paper blockage.
How to clear a paper jam in the shredder.
- Switch the shredder to Reverse (REV) mode. If required, you may need to tug and remove several sheets to effectively clear the machine. Repeat above steps if needed.
- With stubborn situations where the reverse function does not help, you may loosen the jammed paper with shredder oil. Start by drizzling oil into the feed slot 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 card stock (old greeting card or folded file folder) can be fed into the shredder to help push the jammed paper through.
