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.
This function is not explicitly mentioned in the product information. Therefore, it is assumed that the shredder does not have an automatic start/stop function. Without this, users must manually start and stop the shredder, which can be less convenient, especially for auto-feed operations.
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 shredder features an auto-reverse function to assist with jam clearance. When a paper jam occurs, the motor automatically reverses direction to help dislodge the paper and clear the blockage. This reduces downtime and ensures smoother, continuous shredding, although some user reviews suggest that jams may still require manual intervention.
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 off the shredder when the motor temperature rises excessively. This prevents damage to the shredder due to continuous use and overheating, prolonging its lifespan and ensuring safe operation. This feature is crucial for extended shredding sessions and protects against potential fire hazards.
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 shredder includes a bin full indicator that notifies the user when to empty the basket. While not an automatic stop function, the indicator serves as a reminder to prevent overfilling. This helps to avoid paper scraps from overflowing and scattering, reducing the hassle of frequently emptying the waste box and maintaining a cleaner workspace.
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 product description states that this unit shreds credit cards. This provides an added layer of security by allowing users to completely destroy not only paper documents but also plastic cards containing sensitive information. This is particularly useful for disposing of expired or unwanted credit cards, preventing potential identity theft.
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 shredder does not have a safety lock function to prevent accidental operation. Without this feature, there is a potential risk of children or pets accidentally operating the shredder and causing injury. Users should exercise caution and keep the shredder out of reach of children and pets to ensure safe operation.
