Overload Protection

To prevent damage of the shredder, the motor has been equipped with a thermal overload 

mechanism. This makes the unit inoperative for a short period of time if it becomes too 

warm. If this occurs, it is necessary to unplug the unit for at least one hour before using it 

again.

Clearing Paper Jams

A paper jam may occur in the following situations: exceeding the recommended sheet 

capacity, paper is too wide for the infeed, or if paper is not fed squarely into the infeed. To 

protect the unit from damage, it is equipped with an auto shut-off, in the event of overload. 

To clear the jam, follow these instructions:
1. Press the Start/Off/Reverse switch to the “

R”

 position until the paper is cleared.

2. Press the Start/Off/Reverse switch to the “

O”

 position.

3. To resume normal operation, press the Start/Off/Reverse switch to 

“I” 

position.

CAUTION:

 If the reverse action does not clear the jammed paper, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO 

OPEN THE MACHINE HOUSING. Contact your Formax Dealer for service.

IMPORTANT! Oiling Instructions

After 15 to 30 minutes of continuous use, the cutting cylinders must be oiled.  To do this, run 

the shredder in reverse and squirt oil the length of the cutting cylinders twice.

  OILING AND 

REVERSING 

the cutting cylinders is critical to maintain life expectancy and sheet capacity 

of the shredder.
