I found this today, on the removable power cord for an EZ-8 Drum Sander.

I have so many questions…

First of all, am I understanding this right: Do not use this in areas where anaesthetics are administered?

…Why not?

What happened, where that oddly specific label became necessary?

Just the power cord? (It’s a 50’ cord that adapts a 6" twist-lock pigtail into a standard 15amp american outlet) Or the whole sander?

    Not rated well enough to guarantee no sparks in a more flammable environment (probably more specifically flammable gasses)?

      Maybe, but I would think that would be a less cryptic ‘fire hazard’ label. (There are fire hazard labels on the machine) This is… Oddly specific.

      Also; this tool can actually produce a flammable/explosive environment (warm, airborn, flamable dust), which is a hazard I have to explicitly warn against when renting it to people.
