We recommend you oil your shredder once a month with vegetable or cooking oil (nothing petroleum
based). Drizzle some oil on a few pieces of paper and feed those pages through the shredder. Do not
spray or keep any aersol products in or around shredder
MAINTENANCE:
The shredder runs in "Rev" mode but not in "Auto" mode.
a) While in "Auto" mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted into the feed slot. Set
the unit to "Auto" and insert paper to be shredded. It is normal for the motor to run for a moment
after setting it to "Auto" but it should stop until paper is inserted. The trigger that activates the shredder
in Auto mode is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper you are inserting is narrow, it
may not be hitting the switch. It is possible that the trigger, which activates the shredder, has become
blocked with paper. Insert an index card, directly in the center of the feed slot, and apply force.
This will usually clear any paper blocking the switch and force the switch closed.
TROUBLE SHOOTING FOR AURORA PAPER SHREDDERS:
- RISK OF FIRE. NEVER dispose of flammable chemicals or materials that have come into contact
with flammable chemicals (for example, nail polish, acetone, gasoline) in the shredder basket.
- Always turn the shredder off and unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning it,
moving it, or emptying the waste basket.
- Never place the shredder near water or any heat source.
- Keep wastebasket emptied so that the shredder output is not impeded.
- Never use any petroleum based or flammable oils or lubricants in or around the machine as some
oils can combust causing serious injury.
- Never shred envelopes, labels or anything with glue or any sticky substance as this will lead to
paper jams.
- Do not use the shredder if the power cord is damaged in any way.
- Do not attempt to service this product yourself as doing so may expose you to sharp cutting blades
and/or electricity and will void the manufacturers warranty.
- Never let the wastebasket become full. This will lead to shredded material being pulled back up into
the shredder and cause jams.
- Never try to clean/clear the shredder blade.
The shredder does not work at all.
a) Make sure that the unit is plugged in and that the outlet it is plugged into is in good working order.
b) In the event that the shredder is run continuously for too long and the motor overheats, a thermal
overload switch will automatically shut the power off. If this happens, move the switch to the off
position for 20 minutes or more before continuing.
