How it works
The user feeds documents or approved items into the shredder’s throat. The device automatically pulls materials in, shreds them into strip-cut pieces using hardened steel cutters, deposits waste in a high-capacity bin below, and employs sensors along with jam-prevention systems for safe continuous use.[1][6]
