Auto-feed Technology

The Stack-and-Shred 175X has been designed to automatically shred
up to 175 sheets from the auto-feed chamber and up to 7 sheets

through the manual feed slot. The auto-feed mechanism has been
designed to handle paper fastened with staples and paper clips and to
only pull a few sheets of paper into the cutting mechanism to minimize
the risk of paper jams.
