1.0 4220S/4230S/4260X. INTRODUCTION
This service manual covers both the GBC Shredmaster 4220S/4230S straight
cut, and 4260X cross cut shredders. All areas from set up, to disassembly are
included along with an illustrated parts list.
The 4220S/4230S/4260X shredders are both designed for centralized, light to
medium use in a copier area. The 4260X has the added benefit of cross cut
security.
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.
