JerrySTL ★ Posted May 20, 2021 Share #1 Posted May 20, 2021 Came home and found the document shredder running and very hot. It automatically starts and stops when you put paper in it. For some reason it started itself. I pulled the plug on it. I don't know if it has a thermal switch in it. 1 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead ★ Posted May 20, 2021 Share #3 Posted May 20, 2021 That seems crazy and I just unplugged the shredder. Was their something caught in it? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdc2000 Posted May 20, 2021 Share #5 Posted May 20, 2021 Mine has a switch that you can select auto-on/off, or Off. I leave it Off unless I am going to shred something. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ralphie ★ Posted May 20, 2021 Share #8 Posted May 20, 2021 I heared that the newer ones are called schralpers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddmaxx ★ Posted May 20, 2021 Share #9 Posted May 20, 2021 I too am glad you didn't have a fire. There is nothing important enough in my house to bother shredding. Somebody once stole my ID. Two weeks later they sent it back. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's safe as long as I unplug it when not in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Longjohn ★ Posted May 20, 2021 Popular Post Share #13 Posted May 20, 2021 That is the backup function of the shredder. If it is having trouble shredding a document it sets it on fire to destroy the evidence. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
