How it works
The user inserts up to ten sheets into the feed slot. The LX65’s cross-cutting blades shred documents—and accepted materials such as staples or cards—into small pieces collected in an integrated pull-out bin. SafeSense ensures automatic shutdown if hands approach the feed area during shredding operations.
