TROUBLESHOOTING
| Abnormities | Cause | Countermeasure |
| After finishing normal shredding, the shredder does not return to standby mode | Too much scrapped paper in the waste bin, so that the scrapped paper cannot fall and leave the exit. | Cut off the power, and empty the waste bin, press the scrapped paper down to keep them away from the machine head. |
| The Paper feed is working, but there are still some scrapped paper hanging at the exit after finishing | The slots of the blades are clamping onto the scrapped paper. | Set the switch to “REV” for the scrapped paper to exit from the top (if needed, please unplug the power and clean the scrapped paper at the exit). |
| The shredder does not work after withdrawing the paper | The scrapped paper is blocking the sensor. | Set the slide switch to “REV” for the paper to exit from the top |
| Paper is fed into the entry, but the shredder does not work | Paper is not touching the sensor. | Adjust the angle of the paper fed into the shredder to ensure that it touches the sensor. |
| The paper is jammed, and the machine stops rotating. | The number of paper sheets inserted exceeds the maximum capacity. Or The jam made the motor overheat and triggered the overheat protection. | Set the switch to “REV” and withdraw the shredding paper. Or Unplug and allow the machine to cool down. |
| The machine doesn’t start after inserting a sheet of paper, or stops running when paper is being inserted. | The paper is too thin, too soft, too crinkly, or humid to activate automatic inductive device. |
