JS55  PAPER SHREDDER

Paper jams and overload protection:

JS55 is equipped with a motor overload protection device. The normal short duty
cycle for continuous shredding at maximum sheet capacity is 2 minutes on and 4
minutes off. The power may terminate automatically in case of the following abnormal
situations:

1.

Operating the shredder at the maximum capacity continuously for a prolonged
period of time, eg. more than 2 minutes without stopping.

2.

Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. inserting more than six (6) sheets of 
20 lbs. paper at 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 motor overload
protection which terminates the power to the unit.  If this occurs you should:

1.

  Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 4 minutes 

for the overload protection to reset. Tare or cut off any excess paper
from the bottom of the shredder.

2.

  Plug the power cord back into the AC outlet and set the Function switch 

to 

REV.

  Pull out the paper remaining in the cutters. Keep fingers away 

from feed opening to avoid harm.

3.

  Set the Function switch to 

AUTO

. You are now ready to resume normal 

operations.

2.

  Plug the power cord into any standard 120 volt AC outlet.

Operating the shredder:

The model JS55 Power Slide Switch is located on the top of the shredder.  The main
switch has three (3) settings:

1.

  When 

AUTO

 is selected, the shredding process is started automatically by 

inserting the paper into the feed opening.  The shredder will stop automatically
when the paper has completed its travel through the feed opening.

2. REV

 is used to assist in the removal of a paper jam which reverses the 

shredding process prior to a completed cycle, thus clearing the cutters.

3. OFF

 position is recommended when emptying the wastebasket or when 

the shredder is not in use for a prolong period of time.

4.

The Clear Button is used to clear paper from the cutters.

from the feed opening to prevent injury.

time.

staples however it is not recommended.

5.
