SOURCE: Fellowes PS-70 Shredder jam
I used needle-nose pliers and regular pliers to pull out all of the jammed paper -- it took an hour but I finally got it. I never did find a release mechanism even after I took the top apart. Thanks anyway!
SOURCE: Shredder won't grab paper
there has to be something in the path.
once you put the paper in it triggers a sensor that rotates the blades and grabs the paper there is nothing else in between the entrance and the blades. get a flash light and lok in to see what is blocking the path.
unless there are some paper in between the teeth /blades, that need to be cleaned out.
SOURCE: Unjamed, but jammed light remains on and won't shred
Most likely the PC board has gone bad. It will cost over 100.00 from fellowes.

Best to use the alcohol/cotton swab recommendation. When I first called Fellowes about cleaning the sensor, they told me never to spray compressed air into the shredder throat, but without much explanation. Later I discovered that the instructions on some of the compressed air cans specifically warn against using them to clear shredder sensors, as the flammable accelerant can leak out when the can is held at an angle and possibly ignite if a spark is generated by the machine.
This link will take you to the Fellowes FAQ page:

On the page click on "How do I clean the sensors on my (model) shredder." I depart a bit from the instructions in that I don't replace the two screws on the throat guide. That way, I can simply slide the media guide toward the front of the machine, lift up the throat guide and do my cleaning. Much faster and, in my opinion, not having the throat guide screws in does not seem to pose much of a safety issue.

Take it apart and clean the switch with compressed air.
Be careful when you put it back together that you don't allow the wires to touch the fan.
You also have to make certain that the small plastic teeth that seperate when you feed paper are aligned properly.
Good Luck
