Usage
The Fellowes Microshred LX221 is designed for secure shredding of sensitive documents, credit cards, staples, and paper clips in home or small office environments for up to 3–5 users.
Advantages
- High security micro-cutting transforms each A4 sheet into over 2000 particles (2 x 12 mm) to DIN level P-5 protection.
- Shreds up to 20 sheets per pass with continuous operation up to 25 minutes, increasing productivity.
- IntelliBar™ technology monitors usage and bin status for uninterrupted performance and optimized throughput.
- SafeSense® automatically stops shredding when hands are detected near the entry slot; Sleep Mode reduces energy use after inactivity.
- The robust design incorporates silent operation but the unit weighs over 16 kg, making it less portable than lighter models.

How it works
User inserts documents or media into the wide throat feed; micro-cut blades shred material into tiny particles collected in a pull-out bin. Status indicators alert users if sheet capacity or waste volume nears maximum levels while built-in safety sensors ensure secure operation at all times.
