equipamento. Pessoal de reparação deve evitar o contacto com essas
partes ao reparar o produto.
2. Para evitar danos pessoais, siga as normas de segurança OSHA ou outras
normas aplicáveis.
3. Resistencias de aquecimento dos ferros e as pontas instaladas estão
quentesquando o ferro está alimentado, e mesmo durante algum tempo
após ser desligado. NUNCA TOCAR nem na resistencia de
