The cutting unit should be oiled if cutting performance decreases, a sound develops and after emptying the paper container. Inject the special oil over the entire width of the feed slot onto the blade shafts. Then, press the "R" key to reverse the cutting unit until all paper residues are released. If this does not solve the problem, please contact our customer service.

The machine does not receive any electricity; LEDs do not light up in "Auto" or "REV" mode.

Please check that the upper part is seated correctly. A "click" should be heard when placing it. This noise is caused by a small plastic nose which is on the inside of the viewing window (on the collecting container). If this plastic nose is broken or bent, the contact switch on the top part cannot be pressed properly and the power connection is not enabled. If the machine still does not work, please contact our customer service.

The machine displays "Bin Full" and the red LED lights up.

Please remove the power plug and empty the cut paper container. If this is not full, please check the fill level sensor at the bottom of the top part. If this is dirty, you can clean it with a dry brush, compressed air or a soft cloth. If the LED still does not go out, please contact our customer service.

The machine is still only running in reverse.

The light barrier in the insertion slot is defective. Please contact our customer service.

The machine is clogged and so does not work any more.

Try to soften the cutting unit with plenty of oil. Please make sure that there is some paper in the collecting container to avoid unnecessary soiling. Once the blockage has been softened a bit, try to push it downwards using a thin piece of cardboard. If this does not remove the jam, please contact our customer service.
