You could receive the shock of your life!
AnswerIt depends upon what you mean by 'improperly grounded'! For example, if the ground (earth) wire is not connected to the chassis of the power tool, and there is no other fault within the tool, then nothing will happen. On the other hand, if the line conductor then inadvertently makes contact with the ungrounded chassis, then the user may experience an electric shock.

Can I get electrocuted touching an electric pole if I'm not grounded?
First off you should not be touching any high voltage source whether you are grounded or not. A pole isn't typically dangerous, it is the wires on the pole. A path to ground is required for a current to flow. Technicians working on high voltage power line often touch the lines and ensure they are not grounded when doing so, by using special procedures. That is why birds can sit on bare power lines without getting shocked.
