Blade Jams & SMOKE? Do THIS NOW!

When your shredder jams and starts smoking, every second counts. Panic is not an option. Here’s your step-by-step survival guide to "slamming on the brakes" safely and preventing a full-blown disaster.

1. KILL THE POWER — INSTANTLY
Your first and ONLY move: Smash that emergency stop button and cut the main power. This isn't just about stopping the machine—it's about preventing an electrical fire and protecting your entire system.

2. SMOTHER THE SMOKE — USE SAND, NOT WATER!
This is critical. Cover any smoking area with fire sand. NEVER use water on electrical or metallic fires—it can cause an explosion or electrocution.

3. USE THE RIGHT TOOLS — KEEP HANDS OUT
Before clearing the jam, select tools based on the jammed material. Avoid manual handling at all costs. Your safety comes first.

4. INSPECT THE DAMAGE
Once the situation is under control, professionally inspect the motor insulation, cutter wear, and bearing temperature. A jam this severe can cause hidden damage that leads to the next failure.

Stay calm, act fast, and follow the protocol. Your safety and your machine depend on it.
