Fellowes shredders are packed with innovation that makes the shredding process both safe & easy; the Fellowes Powershred P-48C is no exception. The P-48C is a powerful Home/ Home Office shredder designed with user safety in mind, ensuring it is safe & easy to use in any family environment. Featuring the innovative Safety Lock Mechanism & a comprehensive 2 year machine/3 year cutter warranty you can feel assured you are in safe hands. Locked In Safety The unique Safety Lock Mechanism disables the shredder to prevent accidental activation, ensuring that curious hands are kept safe. Located in the centre of the shredder head, the Safety Lock Mechanism also features as an emergency shut off, simply pull the lock back & the shredder shuts down instantly. As Cool As Ice The P-48C also features a thermal overload protector which stops the shredder temporarily when it senses it is getting too hot. Once activated, the shredder will shut down & a red light will advise you that this safety protector has activated. No Sticky Situations Built within the safety lock switch is a sheet capacity gauge which is measured to the cutter tolerance. This helps prevent paper jams by ensuring the cutters are not overwhelmed. Should the cutters ever become overwhelmed the P-48C features an electronic reverse mode to help remove the excess paper. Fearless Shredding As well as being able to handle 8 sheets at a time, the P-48C cuts each A4 sheet of paper into 320 pieces measuring just 3.9x 50mm (DIN Level 3), virtually an impossible task to piece back together. At Fellowes we know that people shred twice as much as they think they do. This is why Fellowes have fitted the P-48C with a strong & robust motor that can shred non-stop for up to 5 minutes. This enables the P-48C to shred up to 486 sheets of A4 paper per cycle. Credit Card! What Credit Card? As well as shredding huge quantities of paper the Cutting blades of the P-48C can also shred staples, credit cards & paperclips with ease. Heads Up The P-48C features an easy lift head, ensuring that waste disposal is as easy as possible with no strain on the user. Should you lift the shredder head whilst the shredder is running, a built-in safety mechanism activates & automatically shuts down the cutters until the head has been replaced securely back on the bin.
