Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This shredder uses strip shredding, which produces longer strips rather than cross-cut particles; it therefore provides limited protection against reconstruction and may not meet higher security or compliance requirements. It is designed for light, occasional use and is not intended for continuous high-volume shredding tasks.
