Overloading
If you insert too much paper
over the maximum shred capacity of the shredder, the indication light will be red
flashing, and the cutting unit will stop rotating. In this event, set the switch to “
REV
” to remove the paper. Reduce
the number of sheets and try again.
Overheating
If the shredder working continuously with exceeding the indicated maximum operating time of 5 minutes, there is
a possibility of the motor overheating. In this event, the indication light will be red, the cutting unit will stop. You
should therefore set the switch to the “
OFF
” position and let the device cool down for about 45 minutes. The
device will be automatically disconnected from the power and will restart on its own once the motor has cooled
down sufficiently.
Turning off
Set the switch to “
OFF
” to turn the device off entirely once you finish shredding. The power light will be off.
Troubleshooting
Shredder will not operate
1. Make sure the device is plugged into power source and the main power switch is switched on.
2. Make sure the wastebasket is fully inserted into the shredder housing.
Paper jam
1. Switch to
REV
position and clear the jam
2. Switch to
AUTO
position to continue shredding.
CAUTION:
Sharp cutter blades. Do not reach underneath the shredder head to remove jammed paper. Serious
injury can result.
This unit is equipped with anti-jam technology. The light will turn red indicating that the maximum sheet capacity
has been exceeded. Reduce the number of sheets and place less paper into the feed slot.
Shredder stops while shredding
1. Shredder may have reached maximum duty cycle. If the overheating light is turning flash red, please turn off
the device and leave it to cool down about 45 minutes. Then it will return to normal operation.
2. Shredder may be overloaded. If the overloading light keeps flashing red, please slide the switch to
REV
and
pull out the paper. Reduce the number of sheets and try again.
3. The wastebasket is possible full. Please empty it and place it back to the device properly, then try shredding
again.
Cutter Oiling Instructions
To ensure proper operation and function, periodic oiling of the cutting unit is required. Failure to oil your cutting
unit could result in reduced sheet capacity performance, excess noise, paper jams and possibly machine failure.
Oil your cutters every 5
th
or 6
th
time you empty the basket if excess squeaking and rubbing noise is coming from
the machine or if the shredders sheet capacity has diminished. Squeeze the lubricant across the full width of the
cutters or shred one piece of lubricant sheet accordingly. Then push the switch to
AUTO
position and insert paper
to activate the cutting unit forward for 3 seconds, then to
REV
for 3 seconds again. Alternate between
AUTO
and
REV
at least three times or until all paper scraps are cleared out.
