Product Information
Full details
The Q-CONNECT KF17110 Micro Cut Shredder is designed for home or small office use, offering a high P4 security level for the secure destruction of confidential documents. Its key benefit is its ability to shred not only paper but also staples, paperclips, credit cards, and CDs, providing comprehensive data security. A minor caveat is its maximum shredding capacity of 14 sheets at a time, requiring users to manage larger volumes in batches. This shredder features automatic start/stop, a reverse function, overheat protection, and a convenient pull-out bin with castors for mobility.

Is the shredder easy to move around?

Troubleshooting
Shredder does not start
Ensure the power cord is securely plugged in. Check that the shredder head is properly seated on the bin and that the bin is not overfilled. Make sure the safety cut-out mechanism is engaged (bin is closed).
Paper jam occurs
Switch the shredder to the 'Reverse' function to clear the jammed paper. If the jam persists, turn off and unplug the shredder, then carefully remove the excess paper by hand from the feed slot. Never force jammed paper.
Overheating indicator is on
Turn off the shredder immediately and unplug it from the power source. Allow the machine to cool down completely for at least 20-30 minutes before attempting to use it again. Reduce the number of sheets fed per pass.
Shredder is noisy
Ensure the shredder is on a stable surface. It may be necessary to oil the shredder blades with shredder oil to ensure smooth operation. Check for any foreign objects stuck in the cutting mechanism.
Shredded pieces are too large
This indicates the shredder may be malfunctioning or overloaded. Ensure you are not exceeding the 14-sheet capacity. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
