Product Information
Full details
The Fellowes AutoMax 200C is designed for small office environments that require efficient, hands-free document disposal. Its standout feature is the 200-sheet automatic feed system, which allows users to load a stack of paper and walk away, significantly boosting productivity while maintaining P-4 security standards. While it excels at high-volume shredding, users should be aware that it requires a 25-minute cool-down period after 25 minutes of continuous use, making it less suitable for heavy-duty industrial shredding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: ensure the unit is placed on a flat, stable surface within reach of an outlet. The 32-litre pull-out bin must be fully engaged for the device to operate.
To maintain longevity:
- Regular Clearing: Empty the bin frequently to prevent paper backups from hitting the cutters.
- Oil Regularly: Periodically apply shredder oil to the cutters to ensure smooth performance and prevent build-up.
- Avoid Overloading: While the machine is rated for 200 sheets, ensure paper is not excessively damp or glued, which can cause jams.
- Placement: Keep the shredder in a dry, temperate environment to protect the electronic components.
