Last night the shredder was set to auto and I was in the other room it turned on by itself with nothing in it.

I've looked, but don't see any paper stuck inside so I'm wondering if any here know of a simple fix?
I've had the same problem with my cross cut shredder after I shredded name labels. Apparently, some of the gummed labels got stuck someplace in there and affected the automatic shut off. No big deal to stand there and manually shut it off.
