you leave shredder in the OFF position when it is unattended or not in use.

In the unlikely event of a paper jam, use the reverse setting to help clear the cutters of
paper that did not pass through. IMPORTANT: Never attempt to clear a jam using the
reverse function until you have emptied the wastebasket.
•Forward:
The forward setting can also be used to help clear the cutters in the event of a paper
jam. This allows you to manually activate the shredder into cutting mode.
LED Status Indicators:

running time, has overheated, and will automatically shut off. If this happens, switch the
shredder to Off for 45 minutes or longer before resuming normal operation.
•Overload:
Red LED light indicates when too much paper is inserted. Use the "Reverse" mode to
back up and reduce number of sheets.

with pullout wastebaskets feature a safety power cut off upon bin removal. Make sure
the pull-out wastebasket is properly set back into place and the blue “Power On” indica-
tor is lit.
