.........I know there are clever people here. I bought a secondhand

yesterday for use on the allotment. It's mounted on rubber bushes in
a frame, so, how is it earthed?

It isn't. The 'earth' wire on the extension goes to the genny and
engine.

This means that you're unlikely to get a dangerous shock from (say)
hand to feet.

(Don't try this at home unless you *REALLY* know what you're doing!)
If you're feeling silly/lucky/curious, stand in wellies, on a nice
thick rubber pad, and touch a live wire from your mains supply.

You're unlikely to feel even a tingle.

But be sure not to be touching anything-else!

Eh.........no thanks!
