Lubrication of the shredder
GBC recommends using an oil sheet after the bin has been
emptied three times (and every three bin emptying after this).
Bin full
When the bin is full the shredder will not function and the bin full
symbol will illuminate and flash red.
When this happens you must empty the bin.
Pull out the bin to empty.
Once the bin is empty, push it back in and press the On button to
resume shredding.
WARNING:
The shredder bin must be fully pushed closed
for the machine to operate.
• Empty the shredder bin when it is full otherwise the
shredder’s performance will be adversely affected.
Operating the shredder with a full shredder bin can result
in paper jamming in the cutters, which will increase the
machine’s noise level.
• Do not force down shredder paper in the bin using
your feet.
Door open
If the door is opened during shredding as a safety precaution the
shredder will instantly stop, and the door open symbol on the
indicator panel will flash red.
To resume shredding, shut the door and press the
button.
WARNING
• The shredder DOOR must be fully pushed closed for the
machine to operate.
