Well it looks like you are going to have to wait to play with the equipment. He can't come out today because he is grounded. But really, if it is grounded then the equipment is not going to electrocute you. You need to ground they equipment. If it is ungrounded then there is danger
The electrical cleaning equipment should be grounded. This grounding is what protects the operator from a serious shock should the the cleaning equipment have an electrical fault occur.

I would be quite happy about it, because grounding (sometimes called "earthing") really reduces your risk of electric shock from the equipment.

Yes it should be grounded
Grounded.
The rubber is insulation; it is to keep the wire from coming in contact with another wire, or grounded equipment, which would result in a short circuit.
Yes, the electrical code states that all electrical equipment must be grounded.
Proper grounding, by definition, will keep you from getting shocked. Equipment is grounded specifically for that purpose. The electricity will always seek the path of least resistance. A proper ground makes sure that path is through the ground.
Properly grounded means that all metallic parts of equipment capable of carrying current, in a short circuit condition, will have the same or be at the same potential as that of the service ground.
If you dont have the ground lead then you are not grounding it. Its best to have all your equipment grounded. Dont use one piece of hardware/equipment to ground another piece. Each should have ther own ground. I have seen two or more pieces grounded together but this is extra they still have there own ground plugs.
Because everything always has to be grounded, for safety. If a 'ground' is not available, as in an aircraft, all the external containers for the different items of equipment are all connected together to the local 'earth'.
