Is It Safe To Mow A Lawn With An Electric Mower Plugged In When The Grass Is Still Wet From Rain?
I plug into an outlet just inside the rear door using a heavy weight "off" extension cord rated the mower. . . and I wear sneaks!

Yes it is OK to mow when your lawn is damp. However, too wet can be a hazard to the electric cord when wet or dry hands unplug the wet mower from the cord or unplug the wet cord from the wall. Use caution when around electrical appliances and cords when your hands feet and grass are wet.
The wet clippings from the lawn can clog up the mower blades and it can be a tricky job to clean the blades off. So it’s really easier to mow when it is a dry day. However, not all weather is dry when we need to mow our lawns.
I don’t know how it could be safe…but it’s never really good to mow wet grass…never mind the electric part. If you mow wet grass your mower will get plugged up and maybe even quit working until you clean it out. Which proves rather difficult when you have a riding mower.
Wait until the grass has dried.
