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 enhances convenience by initiating shredding upon paper insertion and stopping automatically when complete. This hands-free operation saves time and effort, making it easier to manage shredding tasks efficiently and without constant supervision.
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 and ensuring continuous operation. This feature is crucial for maintaining smooth performance and avoiding frustrating interruptions during shredding sessions, especially with frequent use.
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 mechanism prevents potential hazards and ensures the shredder remains reliable for long-term use, even with regular shredding tasks.
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.
The automatic stop function is not explicitly mentioned, but the bin full sensor implies that the shredder will likely stop operation when the waste bin is full, preventing overflow and making waste disposal more manageable. This feature helps maintain a clean and organized workspace while ensuring efficient shredding.
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 through the manual feeder adds an extra layer of security, ensuring that sensitive plastic cards are completely destroyed and unrecoverable. This is particularly valuable for safeguarding personal data and preventing identity theft, making it a useful feature for secure disposal practices.
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.
A safety lock function is not mentioned in the product information. Without a safety lock, there is an increased risk of accidental operation, especially in environments with children or pets. Users should exercise caution to prevent unintended use and potential injuries, ensuring the shredder is kept out of reach when not in use.
