Question

Its throwing it down with rain.The wife is cutting the lawn with a electric flymo.Should she wear rubber boots

Answer 1

Well now that is silly go disconnect the plug and explain the water and electric do not mix, plus mowing the lawn in the rain ruins the lawn.

Now go take care of the wife!

Answer 2

Yes, why would she be mowing with the rain coming down. Tell her to either come inside or protect herself with some rubber!

Answer 3

go and get out the insurance policy's? if shes worth a few bob spray the hosepipe on her as well, just to make sure!!!

Answer 4

depends how much you love her i suppose hehehe

Answer 5

No leave out there open another tinny and watch the footy

Answer 6

that depends if you still love her or not!

Answer 7

rubber boots  will not insulate under all circumstances one lady  got  electrocuted actually cutting the grass whilst wearing a pair. turned out it had a slight crack and the damp(wet) had gotten through and when the cable was partly severed the live current was enough to shock her so she fell and thus continued to be electrocuted as she lay in the wet grass.

the correct solution is twofold.

1) never  use electrical equipment in the rain unless its is specifically designed to be so used.

2) always use circuit breakers ( trips) with fast trip times (30 millamp) and correct power rating for that circuit.

Answer 8

What just rubber boots ? If the rest of her body looks OK then I would think that would look quite s**y!!!!

Answer 9

I'd wait until everything dries up. The grass will cut better anyway.
