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?


Surprised to see it where I found it, but I guess there’s a reason. (Also explains why the replacements are $120+)
I do think a warning label that leaves you unsure what the problem is, is a terrible warning. Just put ‘not for use in oxygen rich environments’ or something similarly clear on it.
