Jam Free™ Technology
Jam Free Shredders will only shred stacks of paper that are
within the shredders sheet capacity.
Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of
paper about to be shredded. The ability to shred or not is
communicated through red and green lighting. Green means
that the stack of paper is within the shredders sheet capacity
and OK to shred. Red means that you have too much paper,
remove some sheets in order to shred.
Given that you are unable to shred more sheets of paper
than the shredder is capable of shredding, paper jams are
prevented.
This prevents time wasted through reversing paper and
unblocking jams not to mention the mess it can create.
Rare Occasions of Jamming
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, use the reverse
function to unblock the shredder. (see Reverse function section)
Alternating between the reverse function and the forward run
(Hold Auto start for 2 seconds) will help unblock the feed area.
Once the jam is clear, press the right hand auto button once to
revert back to auto mode. You can now resume shredding as
normal.
Door Open Safety Function
If the door is opened during shredding as a safety precaution
the shredder will instantly stop, and the door open symbol on
the indicator panel will flash red. The green will go off and
the red will illuminate. To resume shredding, shut the door
and press the auto button.
Over Heating
If the shredder is used continuously for long periods of time the
shredder may overheat. If this occurs the thermometer symbol
on the indicator panel will flash amber, the green will go off
and you will see the red .
When the shredder is ready to be used again the thermometer
symbol will stop flashing and the green will show once
again. To resume shredding press the auto button.
