How it works
The user feeds up to six sheets at once into the entry slot; the LX25 cross-cuts each sheet into fine particles collected in an integrated waste bin. Staples, paper clips, or credit cards can be shredded directly without pre-sorting material[1][3]. The device automatically stops after reaching its maximum run time and can be made safe using the Safety Lock feature when not active.
