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 works efficiently, initiating shredding as soon as paper is inserted and stopping when finished. This contributes to ease of use and saves time. It enhances the user experience, making shredding more convenient.
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 is a simple and easy-to-use feature that helps to avoid frustration during shredding.
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 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.
This model does not have an automatic stop function when the waste bin is full. Users need to monitor the fill level through the see-through window to prevent overflow and potential damage to the shredder. Regular emptying is necessary.
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 a valuable feature for secure disposal of expired or unwanted credit cards, protecting personal data.
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. Therefore, extra caution is needed to prevent accidental operation, especially in households with children or pets. Consider storing the shredder out of reach when not in use.
