3. When crushing, feed the material at a uniform speed, not too much at a time to prevent blocking the crushing chamber.

4. Keep the feeding speed of the crusher evenly to prevent overload or no load. Prohibit metal and other hard objects from entering the machine to cause unnecessary damage.

5. Before starting the plastic crusher for the second time, clean up the residual crushed material inside the cutting chamber, which can reduce the resistance of the motor starting and prolong the service life of the plastic water bottle shredder.
