The Fellowes Powershred 12C Cross-Cut Shredder can shred up to 12 sheets of paper per pass into small cross-cut particles for enhanced security on confidential documents (Security Level P-4). In addition to paper, this shredder can also safely shred staples, paper clips, and unopened junk mail. To protect more than your identity, the 12Cs patented Safety Lock allows you to disable the shredder when not in use for added safety protection. With the ability to shred continuously for up to 10 minutes before a cool down period is needed, the 12C is ideal for personal deskside use and includes a 5-gallon pull-out waste bin that helps eliminate messes by keeping shredded particles contained. Backed by a worry-free 1-year product and service warranty plus a 5-year cutter warranty.
