Shredding Capability
Auto+ 300X / 300M CAN shred the
following:
• 300 sheets of A4 paper (80gsm)
• Stapled paper, 25mm within the corner
• 26/6 and 24/6 or smaller staples
• Small/medium paper clips (max. wire
thickness = 0.9 mm)
Although the shredder will accept fastened sheets
(staples and paperclips), GBC recommend that staples
and paper clips are removed prior to shredding to extend
the life of the product.
Jam Free Technology in Manual Feed Slot
Sensors in the paper feed area measure the thickness of
paper about to be shredded. The ability to shred or not is
communicated through red and green lighting. Green means
that the stack of paper is within the shredders sheet capacity
and OK to shred. Red means that you have too much paper,
remove some sheets in order to shred.
Given that you are
unable to shred more sheets of paper than the shredder
is capable of shredding, paper jams are prevented.
This
prevents wasting time reversing paper and unblocking jams
not to mention the mess it can create.
Operation
1
After unpacking the product, remove the CD shard tray
which sits inside the shredder bin. Store this tray on the
product as shown and use when you shred CDs.
2
Connect the shredder to mains supply.
3
Ensure the ON/OFF button on the back of the machine
is in the ON position, which will illuminate the blue
standby symbol ( ).
4
To commence shredding, press the Auto button ( ),
which sets the shredder into auto mode. You are
now ready to shred.
5
To load the shredder, simply lift the loading door handle
to open the loading door and insert documents.
You can open the door further to 90 degrees for easier
access if required. Load up to 300 sheets at a time into
the feed chamber. Do not fill above the 300 MAX level, this
could damage the shredder.
6
The shredder will start the shredding cycle automatically
ONLY after closing the loading door. If there is still paper in
the Autofeed chamber after first attempt, open and
re-close the paper loading door a second time.
Attention:
If required you can now lock the loading door by
entering a 4 digit code (see Locking the Paper Loading Door
section).
7
If you only have up to 7/8 sheets to shred, you can use the
manual feed slot, provided the auto feed chamber
is empty.
8
Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The
shredder will detect the paper and start automatically.
9
If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 2
minutes without being used, the shredder will automatically
turn back to sleep mode in order to save power.
J
The shredder will automatically ‘wake up’ from sleep
mode when paper is inserted into the shred mouth
or you open the loading door. There is no need to press
the Auto button ( ).
