INSTRUCCIONES DE SEGURIDAD IMPORTANTES
El símbolo de alerta de seguridad. Este símbolo se usa para identicar información de seguridad
sobre peligros que pueden causar lesiones personales.
Una palabra de advertencia (PELIGRO, ADVERTENCIA O PRECAUCIÓN) se usa con el símbolo de
alerta para indicar la probabilidad y la gravedad potencial de la lesión. Además, un símbolo de peligro
se puede usar para representar el tipo de peligro.
Esta parte posiblemente es la más importante del manual. En Steam Way International deseamos
que utilice el producto de forma satisfactoria durante muchos años, sin que el operador, el personal
de mantenimiento, los clientes u otras personas sufran lesiones. La probabilidad de que ocurran
lesiones es mínima si el operador sigue las prácticas recomendadas de seguridad.
PELIGRO: Indica un peligro que, si no se evita, causará la
muerte o lesiones graves.
ADVERTENCIA: Indica un peligro que, si no se evita, podría causar la muerte o
lesiones graves.
PRECAUCIÓN: Indica un peligro que, si no se evita, podría causar lesiones
leves o moderadas.
PRECAUCIÓN: Cuando se usa sin el símbolo de alerta,
indica una situación que podría causar daños al equipo
