widths up to 8 2/3". When shredding small material like envelopes or credit card receipts,
insert them in the middle of the feed opening.
Paper jams and motor overload situations:
The HG120 is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit.The HG120
will automatically terminate power case of the following abnormal situations:
1. Operating the shredder at the maximum twelve (12) sheets capacity continuously
for a prolonged period of time.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity, eg. Inserting more than twelve (12) sheets of
20-lbs.paper in 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 thermal motor
overload protection circuit, which terminates the power to the shredder. A paper jam could

place the switch back into the Auto position.
In case of a major paper jam:
1.Turn off or unplug the power cord from the AC outlet and wait at least 30 minutes for
the thermal overload protection to reset.
2. Plug in the AC power cord and place the switch back into the Auto position. If paper
was left inside the feed opening prior to the overload, place the switch in Rev and
grasp the excess paper from the top and pull it out. Be careful not to place your
fingers near the feed opening or serious harm could result. Clear any excess paper
shreds from the feed opening.
