FAQ
What security level does this shredder provide?
The Kensington M100S provides P-4 security level cross-cut shredding. This means it produces shreds measuring 0.2" x 1.6" (3.97 mm x 40.08 mm), which meets standards for destroying confidential business documents, financial records, and personal information that require secure disposal.
Can this shredder handle staples and paper clips?
Yes, the M100S can shred staples and paper clips along with paper documents without requiring removal. This feature eliminates the time-consuming step of removing fasteners before shredding, making document disposal more efficient in office environments where documents are often stapled or clipped together.
How many sheets can it shred at once?
This shredder has a 10-sheet capacity per pass, meaning it can process up to 10 standard sheets of paper simultaneously. This capacity is suitable for typical office document destruction needs while maintaining reliable performance through the anti-jam technology that prevents overloading.
What is the wastebin capacity and how do I know when it's full?
The wastebin holds 22.71 liters (approximately 225 sheets). A viewing window on the bin allows visual monitoring of fill level, and a bin full indicator alerts users when capacity is reached. This combination helps optimize emptying schedules and prevents overfilling during shredding sessions.
How does the anti-jam technology work?
The Jam-Stop Auto Reverse Technology automatically detects when too much paper is inserted or a jam occurs. When detected, the system stops the shredding process and reverses the blades to clear the obstruction, then resumes normal operation. This reduces downtime and frustration associated with manual jam clearing.
What is the recommended usage environment for this shredder?
The M100S is designed for office use and recommended for 1-2 users. Its compact dimensions make it suitable for small offices, home offices, or departmental use where space is limited. The 6-minute maximum run time supports periodic shredding sessions rather than continuous high-volume operation.
