intelligent help
1In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Auto+ 500X & 500M will stop shredding,
and the jam icon will blink in orange.

automatic jam clearance
Intelligent Jam Clearance: In the unlikely event of the shredder jamming, the Auto+ 500X and 500M
will automatically reverse and forward the engine three times to clear a jam. During this operation
the Paper Jam indicator will flash ( ).
The shredder is designed to automatically lubricate the cutting mechanism as required to ensure
the product continues to work to its maximum performance and to extend the product life. Please
follow the operation instruction before turning on the shredder for the first time. The 60ml bottle
of oil* is sufficient to allow the shredder to start for the first time and to operate continuously for
about one hours shredding before the reservoir will need refilling. When the ‘Oil Refill’ indicator is
illuminated ( ), flip up the oil reservoir cap and refill the oil reservoir using a bottle of standard
GBC oil (1760049)*. The automatic oiling operation ( ) last approximately two seconds and
you will hear the distribution pump during this time. Auto-oiling operates after 15 minutes of
shredding time.
auto-oiling technology
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.
