HSM shredstar X5 Cross-Cut Shredder

The HSM shredstar X5 is a cross-cut paper shredder designed for personal use. It handles paper, staples, credit cards and CDs, producing particles measuring 3/16 in by 1-1/8 in. Security Level 3 classification makes it suitable for confidential documents in a home or small office environment.

Suits light daily shredding; not for heavy volume

This shredder suits users who destroy a few sheets at a time, with a maximum capacity of five sheets per pass. The 4/15 duty cycle means it runs for four minutes before a 15-minute cool-down, so it is not for continuous bulk jobs. Buyers needing higher sheet capacity or longer run times should consider a larger unit.

Runs four minutes then pauses for cooling

Under sustained load the motor draws 1.2 A at 115 V AC and operates at 9 fpm. After four minutes of continuous shredding the thermal protection triggers a 15-minute rest period. The 4.8 gal wastebasket holds the output from several sessions before emptying is required.

Questions about this item

What power outlet does the shredstar X5 need to run?

It plugs into a standard 115V AC single-phase socket and draws 1.2 A during operation.

Will the 8 3/4 in throat accept the same A4 sheets I feed my old strip-cut machine?

Yes, the 8 3/4 in throat width handles standard letter and A4 paper without folding.

How do I know the cross-cut mechanism is producing the correct 3/16 in x 1-1/8 in particles?

After shredding a test sheet, measure a few pieces; they should match the 3/16 in by 1-1/8 in cross-cut size specified for Security Level 3.
