Not only can you shred A4-sized papers, but also checks and credit cards with this shredder. The particle remnants measure just 4 x 40 mm. The shredder can handle 6 sheets of paper or one credit card per pass. It is equipped with a high-quality cutting mechanism. The drive motor features overheating protection, which allows it to shut off when processing larger amounts to prevent damage to the device. With the selection switch, you can turn the shredder on and off or run it in reverse if desired. The collection container with a viewing window has a capacity of 13 liters for your shredded particles. With particle or cross-cut shredding, the documents you entrust to the device for destruction are cut both lengthwise and crosswise. The size of the resulting particles determines the security level and thus the intended use of the device. Compared to a strip-cut shredder, the particles not only provide higher data security, as reconstruction is more difficult than with strips, but they also take up slightly less space in the waste container since they are more compact. A device with particle cutting is therefore ideal for both home and office use, especially if you place a high value on data security.
