How it works

User inserts documents into the A4-width feed slot. The cross-cut blades shred paper, credit cards, staples, and small paper clips into unreadable pieces collected in the removable waste bin. Patented Safety Lock disables the device when engaged for extra protection during idle periods or maintenance tasks.
