The Member's Mark C249-A shredder may stop shredding every second or two due to several possible reasons:
1. Paper Jam – If too many sheets are inserted, the blades may run in reverse automatically to remove the jammed paper. Reduce the number of sheets and try again. 2. Overheat Protection – If the shredder exceeds the maximum continuous operation time, the blades will stop, and the overheat indicator will turn red until the machine cools down. Wait until the indicator turns off before using it again. 3. Bin Full – If the bin full indicator is red, the blades will stop immediately. Empty the bin and place it back correctly. 4. Door Open – If the bin is not positioned properly, the door open indicator will be red, and the blades will stop. Ensure the bin is correctly placed. 5. Thin or Transparent Paper – If the paper is too thin or transparent, the sensor may not detect it. Press the ">" button or fold the sheet before shredding.
If the issue persists, check for paper snippets stuck in the blades and clean them carefully.

If the forward (">") and backward ("<") functions on the Member's Mark shredder model C249-A are not working, follow these steps to remove stuck paper:
1. Switch off the equipment. 2. Disconnect the power supply. 3. Carefully remove any paper snippets stuck to the blades. Be cautious, as the blades are very sharp. 4. After cleaning, reconnect the power cable and switch the power back on.
The machine should now be operational.

To ensure even paper flow for the Member's Mark C249-A shredder:
1. Do not exceed the recommended paper capacity (maximum 12 sheets of 20 lbs. paper). 2. Avoid using paper that is too thin to be detected by sensors; fold thin sheets if necessary. 3. Remove any excess paper or unusual objects blocking the photosensor. 4. Place the machine on a flat, stable surface. 5. Regularly empty the bin to prevent jams. 6. Keep clothing, ties, scarves, and hair away from the blades.
