-  Make sure the outlet that the shredder is plugged into is in 

a good working order.

-  Verify that the shredder door is closed. The shredder has a 

safety power cut off if it is not properly closed.

-  In the event that the shredder is running 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 30 

minutes or more before continuing.

-  When the “Bin is Full”, the red LED light will indicate it 

needs to be emptied. While lit, the shredder will be 

inoperable until the bin is emptied.

-  Make sure that the brake-away power cord is plugged in at 

the back of the shredder and at the outlet.

Symptom

Remedy

-  Make sure shredder is plugged in and Power Switch is 

  in the “On” position.
-  Wait 30 minutes for shredder to cool down before 

trying again.

-   Make sure that the shredder is properly mounted to the base 

and that the door is closed with the bin inside. The shredder 
has a safety power cut off if the door is not fully closed with 
the bin inside.

In case of a paper jam, which may occur if the sheet 

capacity is 

exceeded or if the paper is not put in straight.  To clear a jam:

1. Move the Power Switch (5) to the “Reverse” position.  

  The shredder will reverse to clear the jam.
2. 

If the shredder jams in ”Reverse” move the Power 

Switch (5) 

  to the “Auto” position and allow it to run for about 5 seconds.  
3. If the jam still does not clear, unplug the shredder and 

  carefully grasp the paper and pull out slowly.

4. Once the jam is cleared, plug in and move the Power 
  Switch to “Auto” for continued shredding or “Off” if 

  shredding is complete.

Shredder does not start

Troubleshooting

If you have a problem with your shredder, check the symptoms and remedies below. 
If you cannot solve the problem this way, contact Black & Decker paper shredders 

Customer Service.  

Do not open shredder head to attempt repair:  It could expose 

you to electric shock and will void your warranty.

Maintenance

Regular emptying of the bin is important to ensure the smooth operation of the cutting 
cylinders.  The shredder will not operate when the bin is full.  Regular oiling is also necessary 
for proper performance.  It is recommended to use shredder oil every few weeks. Apply 

across shredder entry, then run a single sheet through. 
CLEANING

Always unplug the shredder before cleaning!

•  Only clean the shredder by wiping the unit with a dry soft cloth or towel.
•  Do not clean or immerse shredder in water. Getting the unit wet may result in damage or 

malfunction to the electrical components. If the shredder happens to get wet, be sure to 

completely dry the unit immediately with a soft cloth or towel.

•  Never use anything flammable to clean the shredder. This may result in serious injury or 

damage to the shredder.

To clean the dry erase surface, wipe with dry soft cloth or towel. For more thorough cleaning, 

use a non-abrasive cleaning solution. Allow to dry before using the dry erase surface.

NOTE: Only markers specified as dry-erase should be used on this whiteboard. Markers 

labeled differently will ruin product and void warranty.

•  When mounting your shredder, please avoid high-traffic areas.
