How to unjam a shredder?

I tried to shred too many sheets of paper at once and have now jammed the shredder. Half of the paper is jammed inside the machine, and the other half hanging outside.
Would be very grateful if someone could advise on this. Thank you

try getting the bulk of it out with a pair of tweezers(-its quite a satisfying job if you're twisted like me!!) unplug it first of course! then keep trying to run it through and see if you've unclogged it. This method usually works unless the paper is wrapped round the central cog bit ( not very technical!) then its a case of being brave and unscrewing it and getting right in there with the tweezers! Good luck0

Does it not have a reverse switch for this purpose
