Looking at the years of buildup of crud underneath the 'skirt' of my
electric Flymo, I was just wondering whether using a pressure washer to
clean it down occasionally would be as potentially foolhardy as it
sounds, or whether the electrics are IP protected from moisture
underneath anyway? I've never dismantled one to find out - anyone know?
There will be minimal protection based on my experience of flymo etc.
Remove the fan and soak in water clean that off and keep it balanced and
just moisten the underside of the skirt and a narrow paint scraper or
putty knife can be used to get the worst off.
