Easy Start

In Auto (on) mode, shredding begins once the machine detects something to be shredded, and then it stops automatically when shredding is complete. Shredded paper drops conveniently down into the collection bin below.

Reverse Function

The Reverse function makes it possible to retrieve un-shredded or partially shredded documents, plus helps prevent paper from getting stuck, making it easier to avoid frustrating paper jams.

Thermal Protection with Auto Shut-Off

The shredder will automatically shut off to protect the motor if it runs continuously beyond its maximum run time and begins to over-heat.
