Paper Jams & Overloads (continued)
Duty Cycle:
The duty on/off cycle for continuous shredding at maximum capacity is 2
minutes on and 45 minutes off.
The power may cut off in the case of the following situations:
Operating the shredder at maximum capacity continuously for more
than 2 minutes without stopping.
If this occurs you should:
1. Unplug the power cable from the mains and wait at least 45 minutes for
the overload protection to reset.
2. Tear or cut off any excess paper from the top of the shredder.
3. Plug the power cable back into the mains socket and place the switch
into REV. Pull the remaining paper out of the cutters.
4. Once the jam is clear, return the switch to the AUTO position.
Exceeding the shredding capacity (e,g, inserting more than 5 sheets at
a time, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.)
If this occurs you should:
1. Change the switch to the REV position.
2. Pull the jammed papers back.
3. Put the switch to the FWD position, allowing it to clear the remaining
trapped pieces in the blade cutters.
4. Once the jam is clear, return the switch to the AUTO position.
