CD and Credit Card Shredding

A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded CD shards. On the GLS28

frame before shredding CD’s or credit cards. The GLM11 & GLHS9 models are
supplied with a separate CD bin, which must be removed to access the shredder
bag frame. CD and credit card shards should be disposed of separately to paper.

Always shred CD’s and credit cards through the safety guard slot (g). Only shred 1
credit card or 1 CD at a time.

Empty the CD tray or CD bin (on GLM11 & GLHS9 only) after 8 credit cards or
CD’s to avoid waste spilling over into the paper waste bin.

red.
When this happens you must empty the bin.
• Open the door and slide out the waste sack support frame. Carefully remove the
waste sack from the frame.
Once the waste bag has been disposed of and replaced, close the door and press the
auto button to resume shredding.
Note: GLX20, GLM11, GLHS9 Models - Once the waste bag has been reinserted and/

cutter mechanism. This unique ‘self-cleaning’ mechanism is additional jam prevention
technology from GBC.
