What to do in case of a paper jam?

For a minor jam, set the switch to REV (reverse) and gently remove the sheets. For a major jam, unplug the unit, wait 30 minutes to cool down, then plug back in and use the REV function to remove the excess.

Can I shred A3 sheets?

PAPER JAMS AND OVERLOADS

The PS571 is equipped with an automatic motor overload protection circuit. The duty cycle for the PS571 is rated for 2 Min ON / 30 Min OFF. The PS571 will automatically terminate power in case of the following situations.

1. Operating the shredder at the maximum capacity of twelve (12) sheets continuously for a prolonged period of time.
2. Exceeding the shredding capacity by inserting more than 12 sheets of 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 cause the thermal motor overload protection to terminate AC to power the motor. Never allow the shredder to remain in a jammed condition with the AC power turned on. If this occurs you should:

In case of a minor paper jam:

Place the switch in the REV and pull the remaining sheets of paper out of the feed opening. Remove the excess portion of paper from the top and clear any excess paper shreds from the feed opening. When the excess paper has been removed, 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 occur.
3. Place the switch back into the AUTO position. You are now ready to resume normal shredding.
