Description
The 62MC fits routine home-office disposal: statements, printed drafts and small batches of paperwork that you prefer to clear regularly. Its pull-out basket is easier to empty than a small wastebasket-style unit that requires removing the cutting head, and the casters make repositioning straightforward.
Choose it for intermittent use at a personal desk. The rated run period is up to seven minutes, followed by a substantial cooling break. It is therefore better matched to short, regular sessions than a whole-room records cleanout.
Features
- 10-sheet manual feed: handles small stacks of ordinary paper within the rated capacity.
- Micro-cut particles: measure approximately 7/64 × 25/64 inch, reducing sheets to short pieces.
- Safety Lock: moves into a disabled position when the shredder is not in use.
- 5-gallon pull-out basket: provides accessible waste collection with a visible fill window.
- Caster base: helps move the unit when arranging or cleaning the workspace.

A sensible fit for a personal office
A nearby shredder makes it easier to dispose of a few documents when the task arises. Give the pull-out bin room to open and leave the controls accessible, rather than fitting the machine tightly between desk panels.
Use the safety lock after the cutting cycle has finished. It is a deliberate disable switch, not the touch-sensitive SafeSense system fitted to other Fellowes models. Follow the supplied manual for oiling and cooling intervals.
Common questions
Does it have an automatic loading tray?
No. You insert each stack manually, within the 10-sheet limit for ordinary paper.
Can it shred staples and credit cards?
Those materials are listed for this model. Feed them only as directed by the unit’s manual; do not assume that discs or every type of plastic are supported.
Is Safety Lock the same as SafeSense?
No. Safety Lock disables operation through a switch. SafeSense is a separate contact-sensing technology found on other models.
Does “micro-cut” guarantee a particular security rating?
No. Compare the verified paper-cut rating required by your document policy, rather than relying on the marketing term alone. This listing’s nominal particle size is shown above.
Product information & sources
The supplied US catalog establishes this configuration. Inconsistent P-4/P-5 labels occur in older references, so the description gives the actual nominal cut size without upgrading the security classification. Regional voltage and warranty terms are not assumed. Fellowes: 62MC model reference; Fellowes: 62MC operating instructions. Reviewed September 2026.
