minus-squarestinkycheese@lemm.eelinkfedilinkarrow-up2arrow-down2·11 months agoThat can’t be safe right? Surely the screw should be placed somewhere without contact of the plug.
minus-squareSchmuppes@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up5arrow-down1·11 months agoThe screw is recessed, it will never make contact with the plug. Also, the plugs are made of plastic where the screw is located.
