Shredding: A maximum of 14 sheets at one pass or a single credit card is recommended. Exceeding the maximum 14 sheet or multiple credit card insertions could result in unnecessary paper jams. When the paper is inserted into the feed opening, the shredding process will start automatically and stop when the paper has completed its travel through the feed opening.
Electronic features
- The Ready LED lets you know the shredder is working and ready to shred.
- Photo sensor allows auto start, stop feature.
- Motor overload and overheat protection circuit will protect the shredder motor.
Sheet capacity:
The MC145 will shred up to fourteen (14) sheets and will accept paper widths
up to 8 3/4 inches. When shredding small material like credit cards,
envelopes, or receipts, insert them through the middle of the feed opening.
Paper jams and motor overload situations:
The MC145 is equipped with an automatic motor overload and an overheat
protection circuit. Power will automatically terminate in case of the
following abnormal situations.
- Operating the shredder at the maximum 14-sheet capacity continuously for a prolonged period of time. A running time of 3 minutes on and 40 minutes off is recommended.
- Exceeding the shredding capacity by inserting more than fourteen (14) sheets of 20-lb. paper in one pass, or if the paper is not fed squarely into the feed opening.
Both abnormal operations may result in the activation of the automatic thermal motor overload protection circuit, which terminates the power to the shredder.

In case of a major paper jam:
