CD and Credit Card Shredding

frame before shredding CD’s or credit cards. The GLM11 & GLHS9 models are
supplied with a separate CD bin, which must be removed to access the shredder
bag frame. CD and credit card shards should be disposed of separately to paper.

Always shred CD’s and credit cards through the safety guard slot (g). Only shred 1
credit card or 1 CD at a time.

CD’s to avoid waste spilling over into the paper waste bin.

waste sack from the frame.

cutter mechanism. This unique ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism is additional jam prevention
technology from GBC.
