Easy Operation
In auto mode, shredding begins once the sensor detects something to be shredded. Shredded paper then drops into the 4.8-gallon bin below, and its anti-jam auto reverse helps minimize and clear paper jams.
The cross-cut shredder will run continuously for 7 minutes before needing a 30-minute cool-down. If it shreds continuously beyond the max running time and begins to overheat, the unit will automatically shut off to protect the motor.
The shredder’s lift handle makes it easy to lift up the shredder head when it's time to empty the bin below.
