Important to read and understand at all times
Do not disassemble
Always make sure that the disc does not have a crack before use. If the disc has a crack (especially
around the center hole), it is recommended to make a copy immediately and use the copy instead.
When a cracked disc is used continuously, the size of the crack is likely to grow and this will eventually
result in irreparable damage to the disc.
