2. Grounded, cord-connected machines intended for use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating less than
150 volts:
IfthemachineisintendedforuseonacircuitthathasanoutletthatlooksliketheoneillustratedinFig.B, the machine
willhaveagroundingplugthatlooksliketheplugillustratedinFig. B. A temporary adapter, which looks like the adapter
illustrated inFig. Cmaybe used toconnectthis plug toa matching 2-conductorreceptacleas shownin Fig.C,if a
properly grounded outlet is not available. The temporary adapter should be used only until a properly grounded outlet can
