GBC Auto+200M, Instruction Manual

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.

over heating

If the Auto+ 200X and 200M is used continuously for over 14-15 minutes the shredder may overheat 

and the cool down incicator will flash red (   ). Please allow the shredder to cool down. When 

the shredder is ready to be used the thermometer symbol will no longer illuminate. If the shredder 

needs to cool down while shredding, no action is needed. The shredder will automatically restart 

shredding paper once it has cooled down after periods of continuous use. All you need to do is 

ensure paper is loaded into the chamber and the bin is empty when the machine is cooling down.

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 cotton-

swab.

service

We recommend these machines are serviced every 6 to 12 months by a GBC service engineer –

maintenance contracts.
