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 at our Service Center. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REPAIR BY OPENING THE SHREDDER HEAD. This will completely void the product warranty. The shredder does not work at all.
a) Make sure the unit is plugged in and that the outlet it is plugged into is in good working order.
b) Overheating with extended use: In the event that the shredder has shred continuously beyond the maximum running time and overheating, the unit will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the shredder Off for 30 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
c) If using a plastic bag to line the wastebasket, please remove it since this may be the cause of the shredder to not operate properly.
d) The activation switch of the shredder is located near the center of the feed slot. Be sure to feed directly into the center area to trigger the machine (especially applies to smaller pieces of paper or credit cards).

The shredder runs in “Rev” mode but not in “Auto” mode.
a) While in “Auto” mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted into the feed slot. Set the unit to “Auto” and insert paper to be shredded. It is normal for the motor to run for a moment after setting it to “Auto” but it should stop until paper is inserted. The trigger 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 hitting the switch. It is possible that the trigger, which activates the shredder, has become blocked with paper. Insert an index card, directly in the center of the feed slot, and apply force. This will usually clear any paper blocking the switch and force the switch closed.

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, 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.
