Abstract: A document shredder has a housing wall interrupted by an insertion opening of a feed channel for the material to be comminuted. A cutting unit adjoins the feed channel in the insertion direction of the material to be comminuted. A suction-extraction device has an intake end opening into the feed channel and intended for sucking the air stream out of the feed channel. A filter element in the blow-out opening filters out fine dust particles before the suction-extracted air is blown out of the document shredder housing into the surroundings.
