Deskside P-4 Cross-Cut Shredder

The Dahle PaperSAFE PS 100 is a compact cross-cut shredder rated at security level P-4 for confidential documents. It handles up to five sheets per pass and destroys staples, paper clips and credit cards. Designed for individual desk use, it operates without oil and includes automatic start and stop. A thermally protected motor prevents overheating during longer sessions.

Practical Limits of P-4 Cross-Cut

Security level P-4 produces particles measuring 3/16 by 11/16 inches, suitable for sensitive personal and financial records. The 8.75 inch feed width accepts standard letter paper folded once. Maximum throughput is five sheets at 10 feet per minute with a four gallon waste bin capacity. Operating noise is rated at 68 dB. Continuous run time is limited by thermal protection, so large batches require cool-down periods.

Installation and Common Issues

Setup consists of placing the unit on a stable surface, plugging in the electrical cord and switching it on; no oil or lubrication is needed. Built-in jam protection reverses the cutters automatically when resistance is detected. The most frequent issues are exceeding the five sheet limit, feeding thick plastic cards incorrectly or allowing the waste bin to overfill, which triggers the safety interlock. Regular emptying and staying within the rated capacity keep the mechanism running smoothly.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the PS 100 or a higher-capacity Dahle model for my workload?

The PS 100 handles five sheets per pass with a four-gallon bin, so it suits light daily use; heavier volumes need a model with greater sheet capacity and larger waste volume.

What does the 10 ft/min speed mean when I am actually shredding?

At 10 ft/min the cutter pulls paper through steadily, letting you feed the maximum five sheets continuously without waiting for the motor to catch up.

How does the 8.75-inch feed width limit what I can shred?

The 8.75-inch throat accepts standard A4 and letter pages, but wider formats such as legal-size landscape sheets will not fit.
