Paper Jams and Motor Overload Protection Circuit
The PS391 is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection
circuit. The manufacturer’s suggested running time at maximum capacity
is 3 sheets of A 4 / 6 sheets of A6 paper . The continuous running time is 2
minutes on and 30 minutes off. The PS391 will automatically terminate
power in case of the following abnormal situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum 3 -sheet A 4 paper
capacity continuously for a prolonged period of time.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg, inserting more than 3 sheets of A 4
paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.
Both abnormal operations might result in the activation
of the automatic thermal motor overload protection circuit,
which terminates the power to the shredder.
A paper jam could cause the thermal motor overload protection to terminate
AC Power to the motor. Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed con-
dition with the AC power turned on.
In case of a minor paper jam:
1. Place the slide switch into the reverse position and pull
the remaining sheets of paper out of the feed opening.
Remove the un-shredded portion of paper from the top
and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
Be sure to keep fingers and personal e fects from the throat
of the feed opening, while the shredder cutters are in motion.
In case of a major paper jam:
1. Place the main switch into the off position or unplug the
power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 30 minutes
for the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Plug in the AC power cord and place the switch into the auto position.
If paper was left inside the feed opening prior to the overload,
place the switch into the reverse position and grasp the excess paper
from the top and pull it out.
Be careful not to place fingers near the feed opening, or it could result i
serious harm. Clear excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
3. The paper shredder is now ready to be used.
