Features
A function that automatically starts shredding when paper is inserted and automatically stops when shredding is complete. Even if you are busy, shredding starts and stops automatically, saving time and effort. Convenient for quickly processing documents received by mail or direct mail.
The automatic start/stop function initiates shredding when paper is inserted and stops when finished, offering convenience for quick shredding tasks. This feature saves time and effort by automatically managing the shredding process, making it easier to dispose of documents quickly. It is particularly useful for handling mail or other documents that need immediate shredding.
A function that reverses the blades to remove paper jams. Even if paper gets caught during shredding, it can be easily removed without damaging the device. Allows for safe and continuous use.
The reverse rotation function helps clear paper jams by reversing the blades, preventing damage to the shredder. This function is essential for maintaining smooth operation and preventing downtime. By manually activating the reverse function, users can easily dislodge stuck paper and continue shredding without needing to disassemble the machine.
A function that automatically stops operation when the motor temperature rises excessively. Prevents damage to the shredder due to continuous use and overheating. Enables safe use for extended periods.
The overheat prevention function automatically shuts down the shredder when the motor gets too hot, protecting it from damage and prolonging its lifespan. This safety feature prevents potential fire hazards and ensures the shredder remains functional for an extended period. It is particularly useful for preventing damage during continuous use.
A function that automatically stops operation when the waste box is full. Prevents paper scraps from overflowing and scattering. Reduces the hassle of frequently emptying the waste box.
This model does not have an automatic stop function when the waste bin is full. Users must manually monitor the bin level to prevent overflow. Without this function, there is a risk of paper scraps overflowing and scattering, requiring more frequent emptying and maintenance.
A function that allows shredding of plastic cards such as credit cards. Protects personal information by completely destroying not only paper documents but also credit cards. Useful for disposing of expired cards.
The ability to shred credit cards adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that sensitive plastic cards are completely destroyed. This function is valuable for securely disposing of expired or unwanted credit cards, protecting personal information from potential theft. It provides a convenient way to prevent unauthorized use of credit card information.
A function that locks the shredder to prevent accidental operation. Prevents children or pets from accidentally operating the shredder and causing injury. Provides peace of mind in homes with children or pets.
This model does not include a safety lock function. It lacks features to prevent accidental operation, posing a risk in households with children or pets. Without a safety lock, there is a higher chance of unintended use, potentially leading to injury or damage to the shredder.
