∙ 14y agoThe cord should be in good shape with no breaks in the coating, no fraying, no exposed wires. Plug the appliance in by holding the plastic housing, not the prongs. Don't use the appliance around water or with wet hands. This page has lots of safety tips regarding electrical appliances: http://www.usfa.dhs.gov/citizens/all_citizens/home_fire_prev/electrical.shtm
First, make sure that the appliance has no frays or cuts in the coating of the wire. Then grip the cord only from the area directly outside the plug. If the plug is slowly removed the chances of shock are lower.

How does double insulation protect users from electric shock?
Double insulation is a safety feature in electrical appliances where an extra layer of insulation is provided between the conductive parts and the exterior surface. This prevents direct contact between the user and any conductive parts that may become live due to a fault. If a fault occurs and the live parts touch the conductive parts, the double insulation ensures that the user is protected from electric shock by preventing the flow of electricity to the exterior surface of the appliance.
Why should you not touch electrical appliances with wet hands?

Living things get a shock when an electric current flows through it. When the bird sits on a live wire, the circuit is incomplete and there no potential difference is set up across it's body. Now, if the bird happens to touch the neutral wire and live wise simultaneously, for example while trying to fly between the power lines, then sure it will get a shock and will be dead.
