bundle it tightly.
Continuing to use a damaged cord may
result in fire, short circuit, or electrical
shock.
Clean the DC plug of dust and other
debris regularly
If dust or other debris accumulates on the
plug, humidity, etc. may cause a defect in
the insulation, which may result in a fire.

cloth.
Pull the plug if the computer is not
being used for a long period of time.
Do not pull or insert the DC plug if
your hands are wet

surfaces
If balance is lost, the computer may fall
over or drop, resulting in an injury.

Disks that are not round and disks that
have been repaired using adhesives
are similarly dangerous, and so should
not be used.
