Default Cleaning electric Flymo with pressure washer - Y/N?

Come on live dangerourously, leave it to dry for an hour or so a e then try
it, but be ready to buy a new one if it just blows the breaker!

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?
