over heating
If the OfficeAssist™ A
1
300 is used continuously for over 10 minutes the shredder may overheat
and the cool down indicator will flash red ( ). Please allow the shredder to cool down. When
the shredder is ready to be used the thermometer symbol will no longer illuminate. If the shredder
needs to cool down while shredding, no action is needed. The shredder will automatically restart
shredding paper once it has cooled down after periods of continuous use. All you need to do is
ensure paper is loaded into the chamber and the bin is empty when the machine is cooling down.
self-cleaning cutters (4)
After emptying and replacing a full bin, the shredder will run in forward for 4 seconds, stop for 2 seconds
and then reverse for 4 seconds to clear away any remaining paper from the cutter mechanism. This
unique ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism is additional jam prevention technology from Kensington.
rare occasions of jamming
If after this auto jam clearance cycle the shredder still has a paper jam, it will stop and the jam
indicator illuminate (
). Try clearing the jam using the reverse ( ) and continuous jam boost
( ) buttons. If this is unsuccessful, open the loading door, remove the remaining stack of paper,
then pull the jammed paper free of the cutting mechanism.
automatic jam clearance
In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the OfficeAssist™ A1300 will automatically reverse
and forward the engine three times to clear a jam. During this operation the Paper Jam indicator will
flash (
).
bin full (5)
The shredder will not function when the bin is full and the bin full symbol ( ) is illuminated.
You should empty the bin.
• Pull open the bin slowly to empty.
• Push the empty bin back into place and press the auto button to resume shredding.
maintenance (6)
The rollers on the auto-feed mechanism may become dirty over time, please wipe clean with a dry
cloth to maintain maximum product performance.
The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entry-slot, can occasionally become
covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine.
Switch the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a cotton-swab.
