GBC Shredmaster 5160X User manual

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This service manual covers adjustment, disassembly, operation, preventative

maintenance, troubleshooting procedures and contains an illustrated parts list

for the GBC Shredmaster 5160x shredder. The GBC Shredmaster 5160x is a

cross-cut, console shredder designed for higher volume requirements.

*Begining mid year 1997, the 5160x will be renamed as the 6160x. The 6160x is identical

to the 5160x with the exception of a new top cover label.

Innovative engineering has provided this shredder with the following operating

and safety features:

1. Automatic Operation -The unit begins to operate when a light beam is

broken as paper is inserted into the shredder throat. The motor stops running

when the light beam is no longer broken and the paper has had an

opportunity to clear the cutting head.

2. Overload Warning -Whenever the capacity of the shredder is exceeded the

unit stops shredding and the “Reverse” symbol illuminates.

3. Thermal Protection -The motor is equipped with a thermal protection device

which is triggered if the motor temperature reaches a predetermined level.

The motor will not operate until it cools.

4. Bag Full Sensor -When the shred bag becomes full, the motor automatically

turns off and the “Bag” light symbol illuminates. The shredder will not operate

until the shredded material is either compressed down or emptied.

5. Door Ajar Sensor -When the door of the shredder is not fully closed, the

“Door” light symbol illuminates. This is a safety feature that will only allow

the shredder to operate when the cabinet door is in the closed position.

Before using your GBC Shredmaster shredder, carefully read the operating

instructions in this manual. Once you have gained experience and familiarity

with its operation, you will be better equipped to use the remaining sections of

this manual to troubleshoot and repair the shredder.

4.0 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The GBC 5160X shredder can shred most office paper and documents.

However, the shredding of paper clips and other metal items may cause damage

to the shredder. Plastic materials such as credit cards, covers, inserts and film

should be avoided as they may lodge in the cutting head and prematurely dull

the cutters.

Operation

Please refer to the shredder control panel shown in Figure 4.1.

1. To begin using the shredder, press

the rocker switch (a) to the on position

“I”. The green control light (b) will

illuminate. The shredder is now in the

stand-by mode and will automatically

start shredding when paper is inserted.

When shredding is complete the

machine will automatically stop and

return to the stand-by mode.

2. If the bag full control light (c) is on,

the shredder bag must be changed.

3. For safety concerns the machine

will not operate when the cabinet door

is open. The red control symbol (d) will

light.

4. Whenever the shred capacity has

been exceeded, the unit will stop

shredding. The reverse symbol “R” (e)

will light. Press the rocker switch (a)

into position “R” and reduce the paper

stack and begin shredding again. In the case of a severe jam, it may be

necessary to tear off the paper as close to the

throat as possible. Then alternately rock the control switch between the Forward

and Reverse positions until the jam has cleared the cutting head. During this

operation, the thermal overload protector of the motor may be triggered and the

motor will appear inoperable. Wait a few minutes to allow the motor to cool,

then clear the jam.

5. Waste that does not need to be shredded can be thrown into the waste flap

area.
