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.
Automatic start/stop function is not mentioned in the product information. Therefore, the shredder may require manual start and stop, which can be less convenient for quick shredding tasks.
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 includes a REV (reverse) mode, which allows users to manually reverse the blades to clear paper jams. This function helps prevent damage to the shredder and ensures continuous operation by easily removing stuck paper.
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 feature is crucial for preventing potentially dangerous overheating and ensuring safe operation.
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.
Automatic stop function when the waste bin is full is not mentioned in the product information. Users need to manually monitor the fill level to prevent overflow, which can be less convenient and potentially messy.
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 shredder can shred credit cards, providing an extra layer of security for disposing of sensitive plastic cards. This function ensures that credit cards are completely destroyed and unrecoverable, protecting personal data from potential 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.
A safety lock function is not mentioned in the product information. The absence of this feature may pose a risk, especially in households with children or pets, as it does not prevent accidental operation of the shredder.
