Troubleshooting
Simultaneous Material Feed
If material is fed into the two feed slots at the same time, the cutters jam, run in reverse for a short
time (material is released), and stop. The motor turns off and the operation error icon lights up.
Take the material out of one of the slots. Press the
forward
button briefly. The material in the other
slot is fed to the cutters and shredded.
Motor Overload
If the motor becomes overloaded, the machine turns off and motor/electrical fault icon lights up.
Wait about 25 to 40 minutes until the machine cools down before trying to restart.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Material Sensor Photocells
At some point, paper shreds or dust may accumulate on material sensor photocells that may impair
their function. For example, after a paper jam, if paper particles should come to rest in the feed slot,
the machine may not turn off because the sensors are detecting “paper” in the machine that it thinks
it needs to move through the shredder.
To remove these paper strips and clean the photocells, you can:
• pass another sheet of paper through the feed slot and switch the machine to reverse
• wipe the top and bottom photocells with a small brush or cotton swab
Lubricating the Cutter Blades
The cutter blades must be lubricated after a specific operating time (you will know this when the
lubrication needed icon lights up). Follow these steps to lubricate the cutter blades:
1. Pull out the collection bin.
2. Remove the lubrication oil bottle from the inside of the collection bin housing and push in
collection bin.
3. Pour a little oil onto a sheet of paper and feed this through the paper feed slot onto the cutters.
The paper is drawn in and the oil is distributed to the cutter blades.
4. When finished, pull out the collection bin.
5. Press
the
reverse
button and keep it held down until the lubrication needed icon goes out.
6. Push in the collection bin.
7. The cutters does a cleaning cycle automatically (runs forward and reverse) and switches off.
The machine is ready for use again.
Automatic Energy Saving
If the machine is not used after 30 minutes, it automatically turns off. Press the
ON/Sleep/Stop
button to turn it on again.
Disposing Of The Machine
Dispose of the machine in an environmentally friendly fashion at the end of its useful service life. Do
not dispose of any of the parts included in the machine or its packaging with household waste.
