feed to the units motor is interrupted:
- Continual operation of the document shredder with maximum capacity for a prolonged period of time, e.g. longer than 2 minutes without interruption.
- Overrunning the shredding capacity e.g. adding more than 7 sheets of paper (80g) in one operation or in the event the paper is not inserted length-wise into the feed slot. Under the above-mentioned conditions, the automatic overload guard of the motor is triggered, whereupon the current feed to the device is interrupted.
