How does HEAVY DUTY PAPER/CARD SHREDDER FOR HOME work?

Update:18 Jul 2024

In the digital age, information security and privacy protection are particularly important. As an important tool for protecting personal information, household heavy-duty paper/card shredders are easy to operate and provide great convenience for home users.

1. Make sure the shredder has been placed in a stable, ventilated and easy-to-operate position, check whether the power plug is intact and plug it into a suitable power socket, open the waste paper bucket of the shredder, empty the residual paper scraps in it, and ensure that there is enough space to receive the newly generated shredded paper.

2. Most household heavy-duty shredders are equipped with a power switch or button. Find this switch and gently press or toggle it to the "ON" position. At this time, the shredder should start preheating or self-testing. Please note that some shredders may take a few seconds to complete the startup process, so please be patient.

3. When the shredder is in standby mode, you can start to put in the paper or cards that need to be destroyed. Pay attention to the following points.
Input in batches: Although household heavy-duty shredders have a large shredding capacity, inputting too much paper at one time may still cause paper jams or motor overload. It is recommended to input in batches according to the recommended number on the shredder manual.
Paper type: Make sure that the paper or card you input meets the processing range of the shredder. Some shredders may not be able to handle cards that are too thick or too hard, so please read the manual carefully before inputting.
Correct placement: Place the paper or card flat at the paper inlet of the shredder to ensure that they can enter the shredding mechanism smoothly.

4. After shredding, don't forget to clean up the shredded paper in the waste paper bin, which can keep the shredder clean and avoid excessive accumulation of paper scraps, causing paper jams or affecting the shredding effect. Regularly cleaning the shredder blade and paper inlet is also an important measure to maintain the performance of the shredder.
