SOURCE: Bin light is staying on

check underneath to see if the bin full flap is working.
First, uplug from power. Look underneath and see if you have a flap. If you do, then make sure it's quiet and move the flap back and forth. You should hear a microswitch click.
If you don't have a flap and the hopper is removeable, make sure hopper is installed properly.

SOURCE: The drawer to the shredder will not pull open

You have to get the drawer out to get to the screws holding the top on.

SOURCE: Fellowes C120-CShredder Full but I can't pull the plastic bin out

Yeah, you can take the top off.... My C-220 had three screws under the front top area, and then two snap-out tabs at the top back area. It was easy.

SOURCE: Paper is stuck in the shredder, and it won't

This just barely happened to me - I used needle nose pliers and a kitchen butter knife. It took 30 min but it will come out. Good luck!

How do you remove the bin to empty the shredded paper?

Most bins pull out. However, if yours is stuck try using a stiff ruler between the top of the bin and front of shredder. Use the ruler to push down the shredding as you pull the drawer.

I must have put too much paper in. I definitely jammed it.help

Unplug the shredder and remove as much paper as you can from the top, then remove the refuse bin and remove as much as you can from below. Then re install the refuse bin and attempt to reverse the shredder. When removing the paper from the top, try to pull straight out to prevent tearing and take as much of the semi shredded paper with it. After reversing it, I would vacuum as much of the remaining pieces of small paper as possible.

Paper has wrapped around the cutting blades and is packed in tight. How do I clean this?

    • 1 Unplug the paper shredder. Empty the shreds from the collection bin. Pull as much stuck material as possible from the top and bottom of the shredder blades with pliers.
    • 2 Place the paper shredder back on the collection bin base and plug the shredder back in. Rock the shredding direction back and forth between forward and reverse. Pull on the jammed pieces as the shredder shifts between directions.
    • 3 Run the shredder in reverse continuously once the paper jam is cleared. Make two passes across the cutting blades while drizzling synthetic shredder oil. Switch the direction to forward to run continuously for one minute.
    • 4 Lower two sheets of clean paper into the shredder. The paper removes excess oil, metal fragments and debris from the cutting blades. Blast the blades with compressed air when you notice a build-up of small paper scraps that may cause a jam.

Ativa HS1000 (Vortex) - the red light indicating that the shredder tray is full is on, however it's empty. There is clearly a piece of paper stuck in the shredder, but it's not letting me reverse...

Disconnect from the electricity. Remove the bin. Flip the shredder upside down. Brush the blades to loosen/remove any cut paper. Then using a thin plier remove any jammed pieces of paper.

I did not empty the shredder soon enough & now the drawer will not open. Is there a way lift off the top without messing up the machine?

Try tilting the shredder forwards and pull the waste bin out as much as you can...you may have to reach in to try to pull some of the "compacted" paper out of the waste bin...once you remove some of the paper then the waste bin should slide out more freely. This may make a bit of a mess while fishing out the paper.

How do you empty the drawer

You have probably got the bin so full it is stuck/jammed full of paper and you now can't remove it...this is a "consumer" model machine and to keep cost low they do not provide a "bag-full" light on the panel...you should regularly empty the bin so that the shredded paper does not totally jam the bin and in extreme cases then get caught back up into the cutting machanism and blow the pcb inside the machine...check your "users" instructions to remove the bin. Work the bin out a little at a time to get the paper out.
