If it does, put the switch back in the center position and try shredding again. Try moving it to different settings to see if it does work at all. First of all, and the painfully obvious one, do you have the red power switch in the on position. I believe that it could be one of two problems. Unless that nub is aligned with the slot, the shredder will not work. In most cases (on the better shredders), there is a notch on the underside of the shredder that needs to be on top of a "nub" that is on the edge of the inside top of the bin. Replace the unit on the bin making sure that it is the same way you took it off. If there are pieces of paper that you can pull out with your fingers, use a tool (needle-nose pliers, serrated tweezers, a hemostat, etc.) to get those difficult pieces out.

(Most likely the bin is quite full at this point.) Pull the majority of it out and put it in the bin. If there is a lot, you can remove it in several ways. Look for an excessive amount of paper in the bottom of the shredder. Lift the shredder from the bin and turn it upside down.ģ. UNPLUG THE ELECTRICAL CORD FROM WHEREVER YOU HAVE IT PLUGGED IN.Ģ. I have found that if you feed a shredder a constant stream of paper to shred, this might cause the shredder to overheat.Īlso, the shredder may get overloaded with pieces of the shredded paper. If this is the case, just wait a few minutes to allow it to cool down and try to finish the shredding you have. Second, the beeping during "mid-shred" sounds like a warning that the shredder is starting to overheat and shut down. If not, then just use the main switch to turn the shredder off. Most of the time all you have to do is put another piece of paper in and let that get shredded and the shredder will stop afterwards. On every shredder I have seen, there is a little "bellows" linked up to this lever that pushes it back so the machine will shut off. As for your first part - It sounds like there is something wrong with the switch lever that moves to complete the electrical circuit to start the shredder.
