Introduction
Thank you for choosing this Shredder from GBC. We are sure it will serve you well, but please take a little
time to study these instructions to ensure that you get the best out of your machine.
Safety First
Shredders are safe to use so long as you take a few simple safety precautions:
•
Ensure the machine is plugged into an easily accessible power outlet, and ensure the flex is not likely
to trip up a passer by.
•
Do not operate the machine unless it is located on the waste bin provided.
•
The models V-35/V-125 have a cross cut action, which is potentially more hazardous than the straight
cut models V-30/V-120 – do not attempt to operate the machine unless it is correctly seated on the
bin.
•
Do not attempt to put your hand inside the bypass entry at any time, particularly when the machine is
in operation.
•
Any attempt to repair this unit by unqualified personnel will invalidate the warranty. Please return to
supplier.
•
Do not use cleaning solutions on the surface of this machine! Clean with wet cloth and soap only
.
Operation
1. Push the switch to the on position (
).
2. Feed paper into the entry to activate the auto start trigger.
3. Cutters will stop automatically after the paper has passed through the head.
4. Empty the waste basket regularly to ensure the shredder exit does not become blocked with paper.
5. When not in use, move the switch to the off position (O).
Clearing Paper Overloads
1. If the machine stops due to excessive paper volume, move the switch to the reverse position (
)
and hold until the paper has cleared from the exit.
2. Separate the sheets and re-feed a smaller quantity.
3. If the sheet jams when reversing, tear off the accessible sheets and move the switch to the forward
position. If this fails to clear, repeat the process again.
4. In the case of serious paper jam, please take the unit to your authorised service provider.
5.
Warning
– do not under any circumstances use any metal objects (scissors, letter openers, etc.) in an
attempt to clear the entry – this model has mains voltage inside the casing, which could cause serious
injury.
Cross Cut Models
1. The cross-cut models use a sharpening cutting mechanism, which make the exit of the unit dangerous
when in use. Always ensure the unit is correctly seated on the waste basket provided before operation.
2. Disconnect from the power supply when removing paper manually from the exit.
3. Take extra care when this unit is in use near young children (for example in the home office) – ensure
they are not left unattended when this machine is connected to the power supply.
