INSTRUCCIONES DE CONEXIÓN A TIERRA
Esta máquina debe estar conectada a tierra. Si funcionase mal eléctricamente, la conexión a tierra brinda una ruta de menor resistencia para
la corriente eléctrica, con lo que se reduce el riesgo de descargas eléctricas. Este artefacto está equipado con un cable que cuenta con un
conductorpara conexióna tierradel equipoy con un enchufe de conexión a tierra. El enchufe debe insertarse en un tomacorrienteadecuado,
que esté correctamente instalado y conectado a tierra según todos los códigos y regulaciones locales.
¡PELIGRO!:
Unamala conexión del conductor de latoma de tierra del equipopuede resultar en un riesgode descarga eléctrica. Consulte con
