Autofeed Technology
The Auto+ 300X and 300M has been designed to
automatically shred up to 300 sheets from the auto-feed
chamber and up to 7 - 8 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.

AUTO+ 300X & 300M™ SHREDDERS 9
GB
Auto+ 300X / 300M CANNOT shred
the following:
Heavy duty staples.
Check the staple leg length is not greater
than 6mm.
Large clips. Check the length of the
paperclip is not longer than 32mm.
Plastic sheets, laminated documents,
plastic folders.
Bulldog clips
Bound documents
Adhesive labels.
Magazines or other documents bound by
multiple staples or clips.
Auto+ 300X / 300M CAN shred (through
the manual feed slot):
Thick paper or card.
Multiple folded sheets
(e.g. A3 sheets folded in half).
Unopened mail (e.g. junk mail).
Glossy paper or a sheet covered with
print on both sides.
Shredding Capability
Auto+ 300X / 300M CAN shred the
following:
• 300 sheets of A4 paper (80gsm)
• Stapled paper, 25mm within the corner
• 26/6 and 24/6 or smaller staples
• Small/medium paper clips (max. wire
thickness = 0.9 mm)
Although the shredder will accept fastened sheets
(staples and paperclips), GBC recommend that staples
and paper clips are removed prior to shredding to extend
the life of the product.
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.
Operation
1
After unpacking the product, remove the CD shard tray
which sits inside the shredder bin. Store this tray on the
product as shown and use when you shred CDs.
2
Connect the shredder to mains supply.
3
Ensure the ON/OFF button on the back of the machine
is in the ON position, which will illuminate the blue
standby symbol ( ).

To commence shredding, press the Auto button ( ),
which sets the shredder into auto mode. You are
now ready to shred.
5
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 300 sheets at a time into
the feed chamber. Do not fill above the 300 MAX level, this
could damage the shredder.
6
The shredder will start the shredding cycle automatically
ONLY after closing the loading door. If there is still paper in
the Autofeed chamber after first 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).
7
If you only have up to 7/8 sheets to shred, you can use the
manual feed slot, provided the auto feed chamber
is empty.
8
Insert paper to be shredded into the feed area. The
shredder will detect the paper and start automatically.
9
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.
J
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 ( ).

the ON/OFF switch at the rear of the shredder.Remove the
paper from the manual feed slot (if being used) or
open the loading door, remove the remaining stack
of paper, then pull the jammed paper free of the cutting
mechanism.
3

OFF switch at the rear of the shredder. Return the switch
to the auto position ( ).
Over Heating
If the Auto+ 300X / 300M is used continuously for over
15 minutes the shredder may overheat and the cool down
indicator will flash 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.

Lubrication of the Shredder
Only use GBC Oil Sheets (G2101948) 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.
Cleaning Rollers
1
The rollers on the auto-feed mechanism may become
dirty over time, please wipe clean with a dry cloth to
maintain maximum product performance.
2
The auto-start infra-red sensor, located in the paper feed
entry-slot, can occasionally become covered in paper-
dust causing the shredder to run despite no paper
being fed into the machine. Switch the shredder off at
the rear of the machine and carefully clean the sensor
using a cottonswab.
Shredder Accessories
Only use GBC Oil Sheets* (G2101948) 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.
Accessory Part Number Quantity
Oil Sheets G2101948 12 sheets/ pack

Self-Cleaning Cutters
After emptying and replacing a full bin, the shredder will
