This powerful cross-cut shredder from Royal is designed to meet your home office needs. Feed up to 6 sheets at a time and turn your documents into 5/32 in. x 1-1/4 in. shreds. The auto start/stop allows for hands-free shredding, and a lift-off wastebasket catches the strips for later disposal or recycling. It even shreds through staples and credit cards!A few pieces of shredded paper may be found inside the shredder and the waste basket. This is normal. All Royal shredders are tested at the factory to insure quality.
