■ Maintenance
1. Empty the waste bin frequently.
2. Reversing the shredder often helps to clear a buildup of paper dust and particles, always ensure the
waste bin is not full before reversing.
■ FAQ & Troubleshooting
If you experience problems with your shredder please try some of the solutions below. Under no
circumstance should you attempt to open the shredder unit, this will expose you to a risk of electric
shock and will invalidate your warranty.
● Problem 1-The shredder fails to operate
Is the shredder connected at the mains and is the power turned on?
Is the shredder switch set to ‘auto’?
Is the shredder located correctly on top of the bin? (Press down firmly on the shredder head to ensure
it is in the correct position).
Is enough paper being inserted into the machine?-(Very thin or damp paper will cause the auto switch
to not operate).
Has the shredder over heated? (Turn off at the mains and leave to cool down for 60 minutes then try
again).
Has the shredder blown a fuse? (Turn off at the mains and try replacing the fuse in the mains plug).
● Problem 2-The shredder will not stop working
The shredder is designed to operate for a couple of seconds after paper has cleared the machine this is
normal and helps clear paper through the cutting heads.
If the shredder continues to work after a shredding cycle and does not stop then this is either;
1. The waste bin is full. You should empty the bin or compact the shredded paper.
2. Some paper is blocking the auto sensor, try clearing it by reversing and then returning the
switch to auto or by shredding some more paper. Always ensure the waste bin is not full
before reversing.
3. Glue from envelopes or label’s is making the sensor lever stick. You should not shred
gummed envelopes or sticky labels, try cleaning and lubricating the shredder with Aurora
SP1000 Lubrication and sharpening sheets, see above.
● Problem 3-The shredder has jammed whilst shredding
Empty the waste bin and try reversing the unit to clear the jam.
If this does not work disconnect power, trim off paper above and below the jam, reconnect
power and try alternating between reverse and auto until the jam clears.
If at any point the shredder stops working during this process it has probably over heated and
will need to cool down for 60 minutes.
Please be careful not to exceed the maximum paper capacity and feed the paper in straight,
please be aware damage caused to the shredder by inserting too much paper or by failing to shred
using a straight paper path is classed as misuse and invalidates your warranty.
Never attempt to clear paper jams by inserting implements into the shredder or by opening
the unit.

■ Safety Instructions

flammable chemicals (for example nail polish, acetone and petroleum) in the shredder bin.
Never use flammable oils, petroleum based products or flammable aerosols of any kind in
the vicinity of the machine including compressed air dusters.
■ Operational Instructions
1. Remove all packaging and install the shredder unit on top of the waste bin ensuring it
locates firmly in position. There is a safety cut out on the shredder head to prevent
operation when not safely located on the waste bin, the shredder will not operate unless
placed correctly on the waste bin. The shredder will only operate with the waste bin
provided.
2. Please slide the switch to “Auto”, the shredder is now in standby mode.
3. The shredder will start automatically when paper is fed into the paper entry slot.
4. Ensure paper is fed in using a straight paper path, avoid feeding paper at an angle as this
will cause the paper to curl and fold as it enters the shredder, multiplying the number of
sheets passing through the blades and is likely to result in a jam.
5. Do not enter more sheets of paper than stated on the shredder at one time. Sheet capacity is
based on a paper thickness of 75 gsm. Thicker paper will reduce the amount of sheets the
shredder can shred in one go, as will the presence of staples or paperclips.
6. Do not operate continuously for more than 2 minutes.
7. Prolonged shredding will cause the unit to overheat and shut down. This is not a fault and
indicates the unit has reached its maximum temperature tolerance, turn the unit off at the
mains and allow it to cool down for 60 minutes before resuming normal operation.
8. If the amount of paper inserted is too much or is not fed in straight then the shredding speed
will slow or even stop. If this happens stop shredding and use the reverse function to clear
the jam. Always ensure the waste bin is not full before reversing.
9. To shred a credit card insert the credit card in to the centre of the paper entry slot. You
should only shred one credit card at a time. The shredder is designed for the occasional
shredding of credit cards.
3. It is not essential to oil an Aurora shredder
however regular lubrication will extend the life of
your shredder, prevent an increase in noise and
help to keep the shredder in optimum working
condition. We recommend using the ‘Aurora
SP1000 Shredder Lubrication and Sharpening
sheets’ at least once a month to keep your
shredder blades lubricated and free from a
buildup of paper dust. The Aurora SP1000
sheets also contain a special grinding powder
that will keep your shredder blades sharp.
These are available from your supplier in packs
of 12.
1. Empty the waste bin frequently.
