Paper Jam Resolution

If a paper jam occurs, set the shredder to Off [Power button], empty the bin, replace the bin, and follow these procedures:

1. The shredder stops automatically if too much paper is inserted and performs an automatic reverse if paper jams.
2. Gently pull any uncut paper from the paper entry. The machine may run for a short time in reverse. Repeat if necessary.
3. To clear a jam, it is recommended to shred only one sheet at a time.

Cleaning Auto-Start Infrared Sensors

Paper detection sensors are designed for maintenance-free operation. However, on rare occasions, sensors may become blocked by paper dust, causing the motor to run even when no paper is present. Note: two paper detection sensors are located in the center of the paper entry.

To Clean the Sensors:

1. Turn off and unplug the shredder.
2. Locate the Auto-start infrared sensors.
3. Use a thin, long-handled brush to clean the sensors. Ensure the brush is clean and dry.
4. Clean any contamination from the paper sensors.
