Eeyore-good advice. I could tell you all the tale about the day I went through the cable of our hedge-trimmers whilst it was live.
(Der!-Couldn't if it wasn't live WW).
Just don't. Scared my husband to death and have been banned from ever using them again!
(Good job I'd switched on the circuit breaker otherwise I'd be the first ghost writer...know what I mean)
Leave it to those who know what they're doing is my advice-or get some training in using electrical garden equipment.
Glad you aren't badly hurt Pete, although you're sore, a lesson for us all to learn methinks.
Footnote-just read through what I wrote. Sorry Pete-I made it sound like you were careless like me. Pete (Eeyore) is a pro at what he does and highly trained-his accident was fluke-mine was carelessness!!!
