CD and Credit Card Shredding 

Models GDM10 and GDHS7 can not shred CD’s or credit cards 

therefore this section is not applicable to these two models. 

All other Jam Free models can shred CD’s and credit cards as 

follows:

1

  A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded 

CD shards. Ensure that this is correctly mounted onto the 

standard shredder bin before shredding CD’s or credit 

cards. CD and credit card shards should be disposed of 

separately to paper.

2

  Pull up the orange CD guide (g) located in the center of the 

feed area and flip it into position over the shredder mouth. 

3

  For credit card shredding, switch the shredder to auto mode 

and insert the card into the center slot. Only shred 1 credit 

card at a time.

4

  For CD shredding, extend the sides of the orange CD guide, 

switch the shredder to auto mode and place the CD into the 

center of the CD slot. Only shred 1 CD at a time.

5

  Empty the CD tray after 8 credit cards or CD’s to avoid 

waste spilling over into the paper waste bin. Remove the CD 

tray before recommencing to shred paper.

Operation

1

  After unpacking the product, pull out the shredder bin and 

remove the CD shard tray,which sits on top of the bin. Store 

this tray somewhere safe and use when you shred CD’s or 

credit cards to separate waste for recycling. (not applicable 

for GDM10 and GDHS7 models)

2

 Connect shredder to mains supply.

3

  Press the central power on button (d). This will switch the 

power on and all the LED warning symbols on the indicator 

panel (a) will flash in sequence. The shredder will now be in 

standby mode and the “Power-on” symbol on the indicator 

panel will be illuminated amber.

4

  To start shredding, press the right hand auto feed button (e) 

this will illuminate the feed area green and illuminate the   

symbol green.

   This sets the shredder into auto mode and initiates the Jam 

Free mechanism. You are now able to shred.

5

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

Free mechanism will sense the thickness of the paper being 

shredded.

   If the paper thickness is within the shredder’s capacity, 

the motor will start and your documents will be shredded. 

Cutters will stop once the shredding process is complete.

   If the paper thickness is greater than the shredders sheet 

capacity the area around the feed slot will turn from green 

to red and the motor will not run. In this situation the Jam 

Free Icon on the indicator panel will flash red, the green   

will go off, instead the   will be illuminated red.

6

  If this happens, remove some of the sheets from the paper 

stack and re-try until the feed area reverts back to green, 

the shredder will then automatically start and allow the 

paper to be shredded.

   If the shredder is left in auto mode for more than 10 

minutes without being used, the shredder will automatically 

turn back to standby mode in order to save power.
