6. self-cleaning cutters
After emptying and replacing a full bin, the shredder will run in forward for 4 seconds, stop for
2 seconds and then reverse for 4 seconds to clear away any remaining paper from the cutter
mechanism. This unique ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism is additional jam prevention technology
from GBC.
lubrication of the shredder
Only use Rexel Oil Sheets (2101948) to lubricate. ACCO Brands accepts no liability for
product performance or safety when other types or brands of lubricants are used on any part(s) of
this machine. GBC recommend using an oil sheet after the bin has been emptied three times (and
for ongoing three bin cycle thereafter). Insert the oil sheet into the manual feed slot and NOT in the
auto-feed chamber. Using an oil sheet in the auto-feed chamber will contaminate the feed rollers
preventing the auto-feed mechanism shredding. Follow the maintenance instructions if the rollers
become contaminated.
7. maintenance
The rollers on the auto-feed mechanism may become dirty over time, please wipe clean with a
dry cloth to maintain maximum product performance.
The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed entry-slot, can occasionally become
covered in paper-dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper being fed into the machine.
Switch the shredder off at the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor using a cottonswab.
service
We recommend these machines are serviced every 6 to 12 months by a GBC service engineer –
see back of this booklet for the contact details of our service centre and for enquiries about
maintenance contracts.
