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 as soon as paper is inserted and stops when finished, contributing to ease of use. This feature enhances the user experience, making shredding more convenient and efficient for quick document processing.
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 effectively clears paper jams by reversing the blades, preventing damage to the shredder and ensuring continuous operation. This simple and easy-to-use feature is valuable in the event of a paper jam, minimizing downtime.
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 prevents potentially dangerous overheating and ensures safe, long-term use of the shredder.
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 need to manually monitor the fill level to prevent overflow, which could lead to paper scraps scattering and requiring more frequent emptying.
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 and unrecoverable. This is highly valuable for secure disposal and a great feature for safeguarding personal data from 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 model does not include a safety lock function. The absence of this feature means there is a potential risk of accidental operation, especially in homes with children or pets. Users should take extra precautions to prevent unintended use.
