motor will start and your documents will be shredded. Cutters
will stop once the shredding process is complete.
If the paper thickness is greater than the shredders sheet
capacity the anti-jam indicator will turn from green to red and
the motor will not run.
If this happens, remove some of the sheets from the paper
stack and re-try until the anti-jam indicator reverts back to
green, the shredder will then automatically start and allow the
paper to be shredded.
