Intimus 26CC3 shreds 9 sheets of paper at a time at a rate of 12 feet per minute. The 9 1/2″ feed opening accepts not only paper, but staples, paper clips, credit cards, and CDs/DVDs. The waste bin holds almost 7 gallons of debris. As soon as the 26CC detects paper in the feed opening, it immediately begins shredding your documents. Operation ceases when the shredder no longer detects paper. When the shredder is in need of oiling, an “Oiling Required” light will illuminate. The sturdy casters lock for motionless operation, yet swivel for simple relocation around the office. The solid steel cutting cylinder is protected by a lifetime limited warranty, in case of damage. The i-Control displays the operational status of your shredder thanks to backlit symbols. Icons for child safety lockout, bin open and full, and motor overheat guarantee that you are constantly aware of your shredder’s condition. The environmentally-friendly, 2 x 2 Cut ; Collect system separates paper waste from plastic waste. Quiet operation is guaranteed thanks to the Silentec noise insulation system. Weighing just 35.3 lbs., the compact Intimus 26 CC fits perfectly in any home or small office environment.
