While in "Auto" mode, the motor will not start running until paper is
inserted into the feed slot. Set the unit to "Auto" and insert paper to
be shredded. The sensor that activates the shredder in Auto mode
is located directly in the center of the slot. If the paper you are in-
serting is narrow, it may not be activating the optical sensor. It is
possible that the feed slot has become blocked with paper. Insert
an index card or any rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting card, file
folder, or a sheet torn from a cereal
box), directly in the center of the feed slot, while applying force to
help push the jammed paper through. This will usually clear any pa-
per blockage.
HoW to ClEAR A PAPER jAM In tHE SHREDDER.
a) Switch the shredder over into Reverse (REV) mode. While in Re-
verse, the shredder will back up and loosen the jammed paper. If
required, you may need to tug and remove several sheets to ef-
fectively clear the machine. When jammed paper is loosened or
removed, switch back to the Auto-On mode to continue shred-
ding. Repeat steps if needed.
b) With stubborn situations where the reverse function does not
help, you may loosen the jammed paper with shredder oil (cook-
ing oil is acceptable, nothing aerosol). Start by drizzling oil into
the blades where the paper is jammed. Let it soak for about 30
minutes to completely saturate. Return the shredder back to Au-
to-On mode. If required, a rigid sheet of cardstock (old greeting
card, folded file folder, or a sheet torn from a cereal box) can be
fed into the shredder to help push the jammed paper through.

It is possible that the activation sensor, which starts the shredder,
has become blocked with paper. Insert an index card or any rigid
sheet of cardstock (old greeting card, file folder, or a sheet torn from
a cereal box), directly in the center of the feed slot, while applying
force to help push the jammed paper through. This will usually clear
any paper blocking the activation sensor and feed entry.
