GBC Paper Shredder 5230S User Manual

1.0 5020S/5230S Introduction

This service manual covers adjustment, disassembly, operation, preventative maintenance, troubleshooting

procedures and contains an illustrated parts list for the GBC Shredmaster 5020S/5230S shredder. The

GBC Shredmaster 5020S/5230S shredders are designed for centralized use in copier areas.

Innovative engineering has provided these shredders with the following operating and safety features:

1. Automatic Operation - The unit begins to operate when paper enters the shredder throat area. The

motor then will stop running when the paper has cleared the cutting head and after the shredder has timed

out.

2. Overload Warning - Whenever the capacity of the shredder is exceeded the unit will stop shredding

and the "Reverse" icon will illuminate.

3. Bin Full - When the shred bag becomes full, the motor automatically turns off and the "Bin full" icon will

illuminate. The shredder will not operate until the shredded material is either compacted or emptied.

4. Door Ajar - When the door of the shredder is not fully closed, the "Door Ajar" icon will illuminate. This

is a safety feature that will only allow the shredder to operate when the cabinet door is in the closed posi-

tion.

Before attempting any repairs on the 5020S/5230S shredder, review the operating instructions first to gain

experience and familiarity with its operation. You will then be better prepared to use the remaining sections

of this manual to troubleshoot and repair the shredder.
