Here’s a step-by-step guide to fix a paper jams in a shredder:
1. Unplug the Shredder
Safety first: Always unplug the shredder before attempting to remove the jam to avoid injury.
2. Use Reverse Mode
Switch to Reverse: Many shredders have a reverse button to help back out the jammed paper.
Hold the button until the paper loosens or backs out.
If it doesn’t work, proceed to the next step.
3. Manually Pull Out Paper
Remove visible paper: Gently pull out any paper sticking out of the shredder’s feed slot.
Avoid using too much force to prevent damaging the blades.
4. Alternate Reverse and Forward
Switch between reverse and forward to loosen and dislodge smaller pieces of paper.
5. Clear Small Paper Scraps
Use tweezers or needle-nose pliers to remove tiny paper pieces stuck in the blades or rollers.
6. Lubricate the Blades (Optional)
Apply shredder oil to the blades to help loosen stuck paper and prevent future jams.
7. Clean the Sensors
Paper jams can sometimes trigger false sensor readings. Use a cloth or compressed air to clean dust or paper scraps off the sensors.
8. Reassemble and Test
Plug the shredder back in and test it by shredding a single sheet of paper. #papershredder
