Paper Jams and Motor Overload Protection Circuit
The PS410 is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit.
The PS410 will automatically terminate power, caused by the following
abnormal situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum 8 sheets
capacity continuously for a prolonged period of time.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity,
eg. Inserting more than 8 sheets of paper in one pass,
or if the paper is not fed squarely int o the feed opening.
Both abnormal operations may 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 condition
with the AC power turned on, if this occurs:
In case of a minor paper jam:
1. Press the switch in reverse button and pull the remaining sheets of paper
out of the feed opening. Remove the unshredded portion of paper from the
top and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening.
In case of a major paper jam:
1. Turn off 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 Power switch back into the ON
position. If paper was left inside the feed opening prior to the overload,
press the reverse button and grasp the excess paper from the top and
pull it out. Be careful not to place your fingers near the feed opening or, it
could result in serious harm. Clear any excess paper shreds from the feed
opening.
3. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
