Problems and Solutions
When a minor jam occurs, your RoboShredder will automatically reverse and
then resume shredding. This will clear most jams. In case of a stall, follow the
directions below.
Basic Paper Jam
The shredder should automatically eject any minor excess material from the
feed openings. Manually remove any unshredded material from the top of the
feed openings. If the jam occurs in the auto-feed slot, gently raise the feed
cover and remove excess material from the opening.
Minor Paper Jam
Press the REVERSE button on the control panel. The shredder will reverse
momentarily, then resume shredding. If shredding does not resume, remove
unshredded portion of paper from the entry slot or auto-feed slot (by lifting the
feed cover) and clear any excess paper shreds.
Major Paper Jam (Overload lit on LED panel)
1. Turn the power switch to the OFFposition ( ○ ) and wait at least 10
minutes for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Turn the power switch ON ( ). If paper was left inside any feed opening
prior to the overload, press the REVERSE button. Be careful to not place
your ngers near the feed opening or serious harm could result. Clear any
excess paper shreds from the feed opening. You are now ready to resume
normal shredding.
Paper Jams and Motor Overload Situations
The shredder is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection
circuit. The duty cycle for the shredder is rated for continuous shredding.
Recommended running time at maximum capacity is 60 minutes on and 45
minutes off when using the auto feed tray, 15 minutes off when feeding the
shredder normally. The shredder will automatically terminate power if any of
the following abnormal situations occur:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum six-sheet capacity continuously
for a prolonged period of time, e.g., more than 60 minutes without
stopping.
