CLEARING A JAM
Should a jam occur, the machine will turn itself off. Ensure that all personnel are
clear of both the input chute and the cutter head.
Momentarily depress the yellow Reverse pushbutton. This will cause the cutters to
run backwards for as long as the Reverse pushbutton remains depressed.
Release the Reverse pushbutton. The machine will come to a stop. After the
machine has completely stopped, press the forward button and try to shred
material.
If machine jams again, reverse shredder, Lock Out Power, and manually remove
offending material.
Re-start machine in the forward direction to resume operation.
NEVER Hold the forward button in the depressed position, as damage to the
machine and the electrical system could occur.
NOTE:
This machine has been engineered to allow electronic media such as hard drives,
cd’s, floppy disks, cd drives, and laptop computers to be shredded into un-usable
particles.
SHUT-DOWN PROCEDURE

Depress red Stop pushbutton. Remove power cable from receptacle.
Clean any remaining debris from the machine and from the immediate area.
