Why does my ld100 shredder stop in middle of sheet
There could be several reasons why your LD100 shredder stops in the middle of shredding a sheet. Some possible causes include:
- Overheating: The motor of the shredder may be overheating, causing it to shut off as a safety measure. Allow the shredder to cool down before trying again.
- Paper jam: A paper jam may be causing the shredder to stop. Remove the jam and clear any debris from the shredder before trying again.
- Overloading: The shredder may be overloaded with too many sheets at once. Feed the sheets in one at a time to avoid overloading the shredder.

- Power supply: Make sure the shredder is plugged in and that the outlet is providing power.
It's worth trying these solutions one by one and check if the shredder starts to work properly. If the problem persists, it would be best to contact the manufacturer's technical support for further assistance. They may have more specific troubleshooting steps to help you fix the issue.
