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 simplifies operation, starting the shredder when paper is inserted and stopping when shredding is complete. This feature saves time and effort, making it convenient for quickly processing documents. It enhances the user experience by automating the shredding process.
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. This prevents damage to the shredder and ensures continuous operation. If shredding exceeds the maximum capacity, you can switch to manual mode to clear any paper jams. This function is essential for maintaining smooth performance.
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 protection function automatically stops the shredder when the motor gets too hot, protecting it from damage and prolonging its lifespan. If used continuously for around 2 minutes, it will automatically stop to cool down. This feature ensures safe and reliable operation.

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.
