SOURCE: I put too much paper
1) unplug shredder
now there are two screws on the back and two underneath the edge on the front (you need to open the door to access them) remove all four screws and lift cover off towards the back( it helps to back the machine up to a table to support the top so its not hanging by the wiring)
if you still cannot access the jammed item,
remove the metal guards there are screws on the side as well as on the top (i think 4 total) just don't take out the screw with the spring on it that's something else you don't want to play with right now. I will mention that when you take off the guards you will likely discover that there is a lot of shredded paper still jammed up in the blades, a shop vac works pretty well hear, but so will a brush (might as well clean that out as long as you have the cover off.)
avoid using direct force when trying to remove jams, you can break things that way, you may want to try and cut the jammed material free and removing the last bits with a pair of needle nose plyers.
