SPS (Safety Protection System): Patented safety package featuring an electronic safety flap at the paper feed opening to prevent fingers, ties, or foreign objects from entering the cutting shafts.

Triple Safety Shut-Off System: The shredder stops immediately when the waste bin is full, when the cabinet door is opened (magnetic switch detection), and includes dual motor protection against overheating.
High-Quality Wooden Cabinet with Casters: Sturdy wooden cabinet reduces operational noise and is equipped with four casters for easy mobility within the office.
