Appliances have protective insulated cords and coverings to keep you from contacting the electricity inside.
It's important to use appliances and cords the way they were designed to be used so you don't damage the insulation or contact live electrical parts. If the cord insulation or the appliance covering becomes damaged in any way, you are at risk of contacting a bare live wire, which could cause a serious shock. Always report a damaged cord or appliance to an adult.
