Operation 

1.  Unpack the product. 

2.  Connect the shredder to a power outlet with voltage 

corresponding to the electrical rating shown on the unit. 

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 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 MAX sheets at a time 
into the feed chamber. Do not fll above the MAX level, 
this could damage the shredder. 

5.  The shredder will start the shredding cycle 

automatically ONLY after closing the loading door. 

If there is still paper in the AutoFeed chamber after frst 
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). 

6.  If you only have a few sheets to shred, you can use the 

manual feed slot, provided the auto feed chamber is 
empty. 

7.  Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The 

shredder will detect the paper and start automatically. 

8.  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. 

9.  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 

. 

Auto Feed Technology 

The A shredders have been designed to automatically 
shred up to 750 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up 
to 20 sheets through the manual feed slot. The auto-feed 
mechanism has been designed to handle paper fastened with 
staples and paper clips and to only pull a few sheets of paper 
into the cutting mechanism to minimise the risk of paper jams. 
See specifcations tables for the capacity details on your model. 

Locking the Paper 

Loading Door 

For additional security the paper loading door can be 
locked during the shredding of confdential material. 

To lock shredder: 

1.  Place documents in tray. Close paper loading door. 
2.  Press any 4 digits. REMEMBER YOUR CODE! 

Shredder unlocks automatically when: 

• 4 digit code is re-entered. 
• Shredding is complete. 
• Shredder is inactive for 30 minutes (but documents 

remain in tray) 

Bin Full 

The shredder will not function when the bin is full and the 
bin full symbol 

is illuminated. 

You should empty the bin. 

• Pull open the bin slowly to empty. 

• Push the empty bin back into place and press the auto 

button to resume shredding. 

Over Heating 

If the A shredder is used continuously without 
pausing, it may overheat and the cool down indicator will 
fash 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. 

Serviceable Machines 

(for 600 sheet and above) 
We recommend these machines are serviced every 6 to 12 
months by a GBC service engineer – see www.gbc.com/
