The automatic start/stop function enhances convenience by initiating shredding as soon as paper is inserted and stopping when finished. This feature saves time and effort, especially when processing multiple documents. It is particularly useful for quickly handling mail or direct mail.
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.

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 use for extended periods. It is a crucial safety feature for any 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.
The automatic stop function halts operation when the waste bin is full, preventing overflow and making waste disposal more manageable. This feature is convenient and avoids messy situations, ensuring that paper scraps do not scatter. It is effective at preventing overfilling and simplifies maintenance.
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 of expired or unwanted credit cards, safeguarding personal data and preventing identity theft. It is a great feature for protecting personal information.
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. While other safety features such as overheat protection are present, the absence of a safety lock could be a concern in households with children or pets. A safety lock prevents accidental operation and potential injury, providing an additional layer of security.
