Troubleshooting To prevent paper jams, do not overload the shredder. Do not use your shredder for increments more than two minutes. Your Paper Shredder may shut off automatically for one of the following reasons: 1. The Paper Shredder has been operated continuously for a prolonged period of time. 2. Excess paper has been inserted all at once in the feeding area. If this happens, unplug the power cord and wait at least four minutes for the unit to rest. Plug it back in and set it to REV.
