    😂 yep my spelling is not as good as I thought. But, yes I see what you mean. I'm glad I said something, that saftey warning was a little worrying. Thanks for clarifying👍

    If the machine is properly earthed and it is connected to a circuit protected by a RCD or safety switch, wet hands is not a big worry. In the above case, it's a perfect storm of electrical fault, non-earthed appliance, non existent or non-functioning safety switch and total ignorance of the combined dangers of the above by the owners.

    As for bear feet, if you've successfully got them off the bear, a mild dose of 240V should not pose a problem for you.

    Scary to think there are people out there who do this stuff. I have a Expobar minore iv, and in the manual it says "don't use the machine with wet hands or bear feet". Reading this email puts it in context for me. 😨😱 I certainly will be respcting my machine.

We measured the residual voltage at the two pins of the power plug after the machine had been on and compared it to the Australian safety standard, it failed. I'd say all these machines, unless modified accordingly, do this.
    Probably just a PSU capacitor without a bleed resistor....

    I hope they also supplied the rubber gloves--a bitch to spend all that money on a machine then have to go out and buy some.

    Yep, they should definitely make up a warning sign. A warning sign will guarantee that no one does anything stupid..........won't it?
