INSTRUCCIONES DE CONEXION A TIERRA
La máquina debe conectarse a tierra. En caso de
mal funcionamiento o desarreglo, la conexión a
tierra provee un recorrido de menor resistencia
para la corriente eléctrica para reducir el riesgo de
choque eléctrico. Esta máquina está equipada con
un cordón con un conductor de conexión a tierra
del equipo y enchufe de conexión a tierra. El
enchufe debe enchufarse en un tomacorrientes
apropiado correctamente instalado de acuerdo
con todos los códigos y ordenanzas locales. No
extraer la clavija de conexión a tierra; si falta,
reemplazar el enchufe antes de usar.
