I have a SX102M paper shreder that wont shrede

Just a few I can think of off the top of my head .

Do not over feed shredder - too thick = bad
avoid paper clips and staples going in
Avoid neck ties scarfs near shreder when other end around a neck
Avoid loose clothing near device that can fall into device.
Avoid plastic going in shredder
Make sure waste bin is not full before and while using device otherwise can strain motor.
Do not put water in device or wet paper
Do not operate near water or in rain
do not run shreder on wrong voltage and frequency check voltage from power point matches voltage and frequency required by shredder
do not put tree branches in shredder if designed for paper shredder
do not put cardboard in shedder

If paper gets stuck in shredder use reverse button and remove and try again with less paper . Do not forced shredder to drag paper through it.

Hello,

When motor is running, look to see if the cutters are turning. The cutters can be seen by looking into the throat of the shredder. If the cutters aren't moving, the gears may have been stripped and shredder needs to be repaired or replaced.

Good luck...

Hi,

Move the power switch to AUTO (l) position and depress the manual forward button for five seconds to clear paper blockage. Make sure the paper is engaging sensor located in the center of the shredder opening.

Good luck.

Hello,

Check in opening and see if paper switch is stuck.

Common problem with paper shreds blocking the sensors on top and bottom of cutter asm. You may have to remove the top of unit to properly clean. When removing top, be very careful with the short ribbon cable. Lift top slowly and then reach under and disconnect from main board. Once top is off, you can cycle motor by hand and try to remove shreds with needle nose pliers. Of course, disconnect power first.

Put some shredder oil on the paper you are shreding...shred a number of sheets with oil on them so that the oil gets down into the cutting shafts/teeth.

I have the Infoguard SX100M Axeus, sold by Staples.
Only the reverse was working, UNPLUG and open back cover, the paper mechanical switch was working fine, red side switch, the gears and fuse were all ok, I think something on the circuit board was fried.
Anyways, I switched the BLACK and WHITE wires with each other going to the shredder motor, thus when I switched it to reverse, it would go foward and shred. Its working now, only in reverse.

Try pouring some shredder oil into the throat where you normally insert the paper and run the machine in reverse.Put machine back into ready condition.
Put a piece of paper in the throat just enough so the machine should run but not all the way in so that the cutting mechanism catches the paper...all you want to do is make the machine run forwards but not actually be feeding in any paper.
If it wont even run in the forward direction you may have a pcb prob...give Royal a call at 1-800-524-0799 for parts assistance.

LIGHTS COME ON SHREDDER WILL NOT DO ANYTHING
