Because Oxygen is highly flammable and used in said facilities. The cord is probably not up to the high standard required for medical facilities. And as for the cryptic language - this cord manufacturer might just deliver a major part of their production to medical facilities, and they don't care to add or remove labels.

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.
I seriously thought they slipped a German word on an English label and mentally just skipped over it with a “what does that word even mean?” Wasn’t till I looked at it again I realized it was an English word and made even less sense.
...I might be drunk... but maybe it means don't use it to make specific parts of your body numb, like by the vibrations?
