The PS80 shredder from Fellowes is ideal for your home or small office. It can handle up to six sheets of standard bond paper and, at 9.5 inches, has a wider entry than most shredders. Plus, the steel blades of the PS80's cutting mechanism can handle staples and paper clips, and a handy waste bin is included for easy removal.Green and red indicator lights tell you when the unit is ready to shred. When the shredder is in the "on" position, shredding is activated automatically when paper touches a sensor on the blades; it automatically stops when shredding is complete. If the machine is not properly placed on the waste stand, the red light alerts you to adjust it.
This shredder includes a heavy-duty stand and removable wastebasket. These items provide the convenience of not having to lift the heavy blade mechanism when the waste bin becomes full. The PS80 shredder employs cross-cut operation for greater security and waste reduction. This type of cut produces smaller pieces of paper, but may also increase the risk of paper jams. To avoid a jam, empty the waste bin frequently. Using the reverse feature and periodically oiling the steel blades will also keep the PS80 in prime condition. The PS80 is backed by a five-year warranty. --Megan Dugan
