GBC Paper Shredder 5160X User Manual

1
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  
Figure 4.1  
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.
