Troubleshooting
| Problem | Likely cause | Fix (from the manual) |
|---|---|---|
| Shredder does not start | The cable, door, main switch, On Off Stop button, full bin, thermal cut-out, overload or an empty oil tank (115 V) can stop it. | Check each of these. If there is no light on the panel, check that the mains cable is plugged in. Page 19 |
| Thermal cut-out is off | The thermal cut-out is in the wrong position. | Place the thermal cut-out in the ON position. Page 19 |
| Paper jam or too many sheets | Too many sheets stop the shredding. | Reduce the number of sheets. If paper keeps jamming, press the Reverse button briefly. Then insert paper again or press Forward. Page 20 |
| Foreign body in the shredder | Something other than paper is in the shredding mechanism. | Press the Reverse button to take the foreign body out. Reset the motor inhibit indicator by switching off and on. Page 13 |
| Collection bin is full | The paper bin needs emptying. | Switch off the main switch and unplug the cable. Remove the bin, empty it and put it back. Plug in and switch on. Page 15 |
| Shredder stops and sounds a signal | The door is open. | Close the door. Page 16 |
| Filter change light is on | The fine dust filter needs changing. | Unplug the mains cable. Fit a new DAHLE fine dust filter at the rear. Hold Forward and Reverse together for about 5 seconds to reset the light. Page 12 |
Frequently asked questions
