Paper jams and motor overload situations:
The HG120 is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit. The HG120
will automatically terminate power case of the following abnormal situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum twelve (12) sheets capacity continuously
for a prolonged period of time.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than twelve (12) sheets of
20-lbs. paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into 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 you should:
In case of a minor paper jam:

opening. Remove the unshredded portion of paper from the top and clear any excess
paper shreds from the feed opening. When the excess paper has been removed
place the switch back into the Auto position.
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 switch back into the Auto position. If paper
was left inside the feed opening prior to the overload, place the switch in Rev and
grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out. Be careful not to place your
fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could result. Clear any excess paper
shreds from the feed opening.
