Usage

The Fellowes Automax 600M is a high-capacity document shredder designed for securely destroying sensitive papers in medium to large office environments. It is suitable for automatic batch shredding and manual use with various materials.

Advantages

• Automatically shreds up to 600 sheets per load, enabling walk-away convenience and time savings for busy offices.

• Continuous-duty motor allows non-stop operation without cooling pauses, ideal for intensive shredding sessions.
• Spacious 22-gallon pull-out bin minimizes interruptions by holding a large volume of waste before requiring emptying.
• An optional Smart Lock secures shredded materials during processing via a user-set PIN; the unit is relatively heavy (over 80 lbs), requiring suitable placement or multiple persons to move it[1][4][5][7].

How it works

The Automax 600M enables users to load stacks of paper into its auto-feed tray or insert smaller batches manually. Once started—optionally secured by Smart Lock—it silently shreds documents into fine particles and collects waste in an easily accessible pull-out bin. Automatic jam prevention ensures efficiency throughout operation[1][3][7].
