Aurora AS 1012SB runs in reverse only- how to fix?

Was running in auto position OK, then suddenly quit and will only go in reverse. Nothing stuck in the wheels. What to do?

II. The shredder runs in "Rev" mode but not in "Auto" mode:

A. In "Auto" mode, the motor will not start running until paper is inserted into the paper slot.
    1. Switch to "Auto" mode and insert paper into the middle of the shredder.

B. The sensor that activates the shredder in "Auto" mode is located directly in the center of the paper slot. If the paper you are inserting is too narrow, it may not be activating the sensor.
    1. Insert paper into the middle of the slot.

C . The sensor which activates the shredder may have become blocked with paper.
    1. Insert an index card (or something similar such as a postcard or greeting card), directly into the center of the paper slot. Apply force. This will usually clear any paper blocking the sensor or force it closed.
