Cross-cut shredder for paper and cards

This cross-cut shredder cuts paper and credit cards into small pieces meeting P-4 security standards. It handles up to eight sheets of 20-pound bond paper at once and also shreds staples and small paper clips. The unit is new and finished in white.

Home offices needing basic document security

Suitable for users who destroy personal documents, expired cards and light paperwork a few times a day. Not suited for high-volume departments or anyone needing continuous operation beyond the three-minute run cycle.

Three-minute runtime with 30-minute cool-down

The shredder runs for three minutes before an automatic shut-off engages to prevent overheating, then requires a 30-minute cool-down period. This duty cycle is the key factor in deciding whether the machine matches your workload.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions of the C276-A so I can check if it fits my shelf?

The shredder measures 12.76 inches long, 7.28 inches wide and 14.09 inches high.

How do I install the C276-A and what is the step users often miss?

Place the shredder head onto the 3.7 gallon bin, plug it in, and set the switch to auto/on; the step often missed is waiting 30 minutes for cool-down after the 3 minute maximum run time.

What maintenance does the C276-A need and when should I replace parts?

Lubricate the cross-cut blades periodically with shredder oil; empty the 3.7 gallon bin before it reaches capacity and avoid aerosol sprays near the unit to prevent damage.
