Personal cross-cut shredder

The HSM shredstar X8 is a personal cross-cut paper shredder designed for home or small-office use. It accepts up to eight sheets at once and also destroys CDs, credit cards and staples. The 8 3/4 in throat width handles standard letter pages without folding. Security Level 3 produces 3/16 in x 1-1/8 in particles for confidential documents.

Desk-ready dimensions and power

Measuring 13 13/64 in wide, 8 55/64 in deep and 15 15/16 in high, the unit fits on a typical desk and its 4.8 gal wastebasket reduces emptying frequency. It runs on 115 V AC single-phase power drawing 2.1 A, so a standard wall outlet is sufficient. No special wiring or dedicated circuit is required for operation.

Sustained shredding cycle

The duty cycle is rated 4 minutes on and 15 minutes off, limiting continuous shredding sessions. During the active period the shredder processes material at 9 fpm before the thermal protection pauses the motor. Users with large daily volumes must plan batches around the cool-down interval. The UL listing confirms electrical safety compliance.

Questions about this item

How many sheets can the HSM shredstar X8 handle continuously before the 4/15 duty cycle forces a cool-down?

The 4/15 duty rating means it runs for four minutes then rests for fifteen; with an 8-sheet maximum per pass you can shred continuously for that four-minute window.

What noise, heat or power draw should I expect when the shredder runs all day on 115 V AC?

It draws 2.1 A at 115 V AC; the UL-listed motor is designed for personal use, so extended sessions stay within that rated draw without excessive heat.

Does the 8 3/4-inch throat width accept standard letter or A4 paper without folding?

Yes, the 8 3/4-inch throat fits both letter and A4 widths directly, so no pre-folding is needed.
