Paper Jam:
• Press rocker switch to “O” to stop
the cutting system.
• Press and hold down rocker switch
in “R” to reverse the cutting

between forward and reverse to
force material through the
shredder. Rapid rocking develops
tremendous forces that can
damage your shredder.
• Continue shredding in smaller
quantities so as not to jam the
machine further.

• If the motor is overheated, switch the machine off
and allow motor to cool down for approximately 15-
