8. If the amount of paper inserted is too much or is not fed in
straight then the shredding speed will slow or even stop. If the
paper starts to fold over itself, then this will increase the thick-
ness significantly and potentially cause a jam. If this happens
stop shredding immediately and use the reverse function, then
reinsert the paper using a straight paper path.
9. To shred a credit card or CD – move the sliding cover to the posi-
tion described above. Insert the credit card/CD in the applicable
slot. You should only shred one credit card or CD at a time.

StAtUS InDIC AtoRS

There is a red LED light close to the on/off switch on the shredder, if
this is illuminated the shredder will not operate. This is due to either
the shredder door not being closed properly, the waste bin being
full, or the presence of a paper jam or the shredder has overheated.
MAIntEnAnCE
1. Empty the waste basket frequently.
2. Reversing the shredder often helps to clear a build up of paper
dust and particles, ensure the basket is not full before revers-
ing.
3. It is not necessary to oil an Q-CONNECT shredder; however do-
ing so may extend the life of your shredder. Use a non aerosol,
non flammable vegetable based oil with a long delivery nozzle.

leave to cool down for 60 minutes.
Has the shredder blown a fuse? – (Turn off at the power supply and try replacing the fuse in the mains plug.)
PRoBlEM 2 – tHE SHREDDER wIll not StoP woRkInG
The shredder is designed to operate for a couple of seconds after
paper has cleared the machine – this is normal and helps clear pa-
per through the cutting heads. If the shredder continues to work
after a shredding cycle and does not stop then this is either;
1. The waste basket is full. You should empty the basket or com-
pact the shredded paper.
2. Some paper is blocking the auto sensor, try clearing it by revers-
ing and then returning the switch to auto or by
shredding some more paper.
PRoBlEM 3 – tHE SHREDDER HAS jAMMED wHIlSt SHRED-
DInG
Empty the waste bin and try reversing the unit to clear the jam.
If this does not work disconnect power, trim off paper above and
below the jam, reconnect power and try alternating between re-
verse (REV) and forward (FW) until the jam clears.
If at any point the shredder stops working during this process it has
probably over heated and will need to cool down for 60 minutes.
