1. Before starting the machine: Check that the holes in the fish food extruder mold are clear. Ultra-fine molds (0.5-0.8 mm) are prone to clogging; use the fine needle provided by the manufacturer to clean them. Do not use toothpicks, wire, or other sharp objects to avoid scratching the mold or injuring your hands. Also check that the machine is placed stably and that the work surface is free of debris to prevent it from falling during operation. Wash and dry your hands before operation, as sweaty hands can cause slippery surfaces and affect operational safety.

2. During operation: Do not be distracted while the fish food making machine is running. Do not look at your phone or handle other tasks while operating it to prevent accidental contact with the high-speed cutting blade. Add feed in small amounts multiple times using a small spoon. Ornamental fish food ingredients are mostly fine powder; adding too much at once can easily cause dust or clogging. When adding feed, you can slightly bend your head and turn to the side to avoid choking on the dust. The discharge port is hot; do not catch the pellets directly with your hands. Use a small plate to catch them to prevent burns to your fingers.

3. After shutting down: After disconnecting the power to the fish pellet making machine, wait for the machine to come to a complete stop before disassembling the mold and screw. The ultra-fine mold material is brittle, so handle it gently during disassembly to avoid breakage and cuts. When cleaning up any fine powder residue, use a soft-bristled brush to gently brush it; do not blow it out with your mouth to prevent inhaling dust. After cleaning, store the mold, screw, and other parts separately in a dry box to prevent loss or dust accumulation.
