CD and Credit Card Shredding
Models GDM10 and GDHS7 can not shred CD’s or credit cards therefore this section is not applicable to these two models. All other Jam Free models can shred CD’s and credit cards as follows:
1A separate CD tray is provided to collect the shredded
CD shards. Ensure that this is correctly mounted onto the standard shredder bin before shredding CD’s or credit cards. CD and credit card shards should be disposed of separately to paper.
2Pull up the orange CD guide (g) located in the center of the feed area and flip it into position over the shredder mouth.
3For credit card shredding, switch the shredder to auto mode and insert the card into the center slot. Only shred 1 credit card at a time.
4For CD shredding, extend the sides of the orange CD guide, switch the shredder to auto mode and place the CD into the center of the CD slot. Only shred 1 CD at a time.
5 Empty the CD tray after 8 credit cards or CD’s to avoid waste spilling over into the paper waste bin. Remove the CD tray before recommencing to shred paper.
