intelligent help
1In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Auto+ 300X & 300M will stop shredding,
and the jam icon will blink in orange.
2The shredder will illuminate the FWD ( ) and REV ( ) buttons in the sequence necessary
to clear the jam.
3If the jam cannot be intelligentally cleared, the jam icon ( ) will illuminate in red. At this
point follow the reverse function instructions to clear any jammed material.
automatic jam clearance
Intelligent Jam Clearance: In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Auto+ 300X and 300M
will automatically reverse and forward the engine three times to clear a jam. During this operation
the Paper Jam indicator will flash ( ).
bin or loading door open safety function
As a safety precaution, if the bin or loading door is opened during shredding, the shredder will stop
and the bin full indicator will illuminate ( ).
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.

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.
