My 12 page shredder won't turn on now.

SOURCE: Shredder will not work

try resetting the shreddar, unplugging it then plugging it back in, also is the unit properly mounted on the shredding bin? also you could try oiling the cutters to make the paper go through more easily....make sure no paper or papre clips are stuck in paper shreddar also....try it in reverse to see if anything is stuck...if this all fails if you hav ea warranty now would be a good time to call the warranty company
