The product, in the report: 12 page personal shredder with CD slot
The motor cooling intake is located inside the paper bin and when shredding a piece was pulled in and began smoking. I pictures of the receipt and paper available. Even if the grid was smaller, I am concerned the paper dust would be a problem too and reduce the life of the machine.
