Fellowes conducts extensive testing to ensure that these shredders are capable of meeting all of the specifications listed in the Product Profile (see page 2). However, the actual sheet capacity is dependent on a number of factors including the type and weight of paper, the humidity, the voltage level of the power source, the temperature of the motor, and the core with which the operator feeds the paper. Safety agency testing is conducted to ensure that the shredder will operate to specifications even if the available voltage is 10% below or 6% above the rated voltage. During this testing 2.5 minutes was taken to empty the basket each time it filled and the following capacities were used for temperature rise testing:

Cut Size Number Paper Size

Voltage Hertz & Type of Sheets & Weight

220-240VAC 50HZ 3.9mm Strip Cut 17 A4 70g
220-240VAC 50HZ 5.8mm Strip Cut 19 A4 70g
