Auto:
This setting allows the shredder to be automatically started by inserting paper into the
shred opening. Always feed the paper in as straight as possible. When the paper has
passed through, the shredder will automatically stop. (FIGURE 2)
Off:
This setting turns off all features of the shredder. For safety reasons, we recommend that
you leave the shredder in the "Off" position whenever the shredder is unattended or
not in use. (FIGURE 2)
Rev:
In the unlikely event of a paper jam, the reverse setting can be used to help clear the
cutters of paper that has not passed through. Never attempt to clear a jam by using
the reverse function until you have emptied the wastebasket. (FIGURE 2)

Never shred plastic (except credit cards), any hard materials, continuous forms,
newsprint, or anything with adhesives including labels and envelopes.
While this shredder will shred staples, it is recommended that you remove them whenever possible in
order to extend the life of your shredder.
Only shred credit cards by feeding them vertically within the designated area.
Never feed more than one credit card at a time.
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.

OPERATION Continued:
The shredder does not work at all.

ShredSafe™ power cut off feature will be activated and the shredder will be inoperable.
c) Shredders with pull-out wastebaskets features a safety power cut off upon bin removal. Make sure
the pull-out wastebasket is properly set back into place.
d) In the event that the shredder is run continuously for too long and the motor overheats, a thermal
overload switch will automatically shut the power off. If this happens, move the switch to the off
position for 20 minutes or more before continuing.
TROUBLESHOOTING FOR AURORA PAPER SHREDDERS:
-
RISK OF FIRE.
Never use any petroleum based or flammable oils or lubricants in or around the
machine as some oils can combust causing serious injury.
- NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come into contact
with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone, gasoline) in the shredder basket.
-
Never shred plastic (except credit cards), any hard materials, continuous forms,
newsprint, or anything with adhesives including labels and envelopes.
- A socket-outlet should be near the equipment and be easily accessible.
- Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning it,
moving it, or emptying the waste basket.
- Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up into
the shredder and cause jams.
- Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.
- Keep wastebasket emptied so that the shredder output is not impeded.
- Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as doing so may expose you to sharp cutting blades
and/or electricity and will void the manufacturers warranty.
- Never try to clean or clear the shredder blade.
