Failure

CAUTION!
Risk of injury!
Remove material with caution, as sharp
edges present a risk of injury.

4 .1 Material jam

If a jam occurs because too much material or too hard
a material is fed into the machine, it reacts as follows:
The cutting mechanism stops and stands still.
ƒ
The pilot lamp (Fig. 2/8) lights up.
ƒ
Please proceed as follows:
1 . Depress the reverse-button (Fig. 2/2).
2 . Open the safety glass (Fig. 3/1).
3 . Remove the material using the enclosed tongs.
4 . Close the safety glass.
5 . Feed the material again individually, one after ano-
ther.

4 .2 Material is not drawn in

Depending on the material's surface finish, the machi-
ne may be unable to draw it in. The cutting mechanism
cannot always firmly grip straight and smooth objects
or very rounded objects.
In this case, please proceed as follows:
Reverse the cutting mechanism manually
1 . Press the stop-button „S" (Fig. 2/3).
2 . Depress the reverse-button (Fig. 2/2).
3 . Press the stop-button „S".
4 . Press the forward-button (Fig. 2/1).
5 . Repeat the steps 1 to 4 a few times. That helps in
many cases.

4 .3 Material is not fully destroyed

In isolated cases, some material can remain on the cut-
ting mechanism. There are three possible reasons for
this:
The machine could not grip the object
In this case, see „Material is not drawn in", p. 13.
Too much material was fed
In this case, please proceed as follows:
1 . Press the stop-button „S".
2 . Open the safety glass.
3 . Remove the material using the enclosed tongs.
4 . Close the safety glass.
5 . Feed the objects again individually, one after ano-
ther.
94626 1 10/17
The material fed was too tough
In this case, please proceed as follows:
1 . Press the stop-button „S".
2 . Make sure the object fed corresponds to the area
of application (see „Area of application", p. 10).
If it does not, remove the object from the cutting
mechanism.
3 . If the object corresponds to the machine's area of
application, press the forward-button (Fig. 2/1) to
restart the shredding process.

4 .4 Motor protection

If the motor is overloaded, it shuts off. In such case
the pilot lamp „ready" (Fig. 2/7) flashes. After a cooling
time of about 15-20 minutes (depending on the model
and room temperature), you can restart the machine.

4 .5 Failure checklist

If the device does not work, check the following items:
Is the power plug connected to the grid?
ƒ
Is the door closed?
ƒ
Is the mains switch (Fig. 1) turned on?
ƒ
Is the safety glass closed?
ƒ
ƒ Is the catch basket full?
¾ Follow the instructions under „Emptying the
catch basket", p. 12.
Is material jammed in the device?
ƒ
¾ Follow the instructions under „Material jam",
p. 13.
Can the cutting mechanism not grip the material?
ƒ
¾ Follow the instructions under „Material is not
drawn in", p. 13.
Does the shredding process not fully destroy the
ƒ
material?
¾ Follow the instructions under „Material is not ful-
ly destroyed", p. 13.
Has the motor been overloaded?
ƒ
¾ See „Motor protection", p. 13.
NOTE!
In many cases, restarting the machine helps:
1 . Switch off the machine once.
2 . Turn the machine on again.
If none of these test points apply, please notify your
intimus service partner.
