Easy Operation
In auto mode, shredding begins once the sensor detects something to be shredded, and auto reverse helps avoid paper jams.
The cross-cut shredder will run continuously for up to 25 minutes before needing a 60-minute cool-down. If it shreds continuously beyond the max running time and begins to overheat, the unit will automatically shut off to protect the motor.
The shredder’s large-capacity pullout bin holds up to 7 gallons or about 270 sheets of paper, which means more time shredding and less time emptying. LED indicators offer at-a-glance convenience for Standby, Overheat, Overload, and Door open, while smooth-rolling wheels help ensure effortless placement.
