Your not the first to mention this, bit of a worry!

Is it a new machine?

I have only had it a month or so it's second hand but only about 8 months old bit strange

i would guess that a damaged cable is touching the metal of the machine.

If you can bring machine to me ian il check it all out

Make sure the cable is all good and the earths haven't become loose. Then make sure the power source is earthed properly

stand in the water butt while trying these suggestions :RpS_sneaky:

As oft wales I kept getting a tingle from the machine and checked the power cable to the machine and it was a bad earth. One of the lads must have tripped or pulled the cable and broke the earth. Easy fix

Yer will have a look I out new connectors on the cables but not looked in the machine it's quite savage some times resorted to wearing rubber gloves lol

definitely check the new connectors you installed.

99.5 % of the time it will be a bad power supply. I.E. bad connections on a cable or the power source is not earthed. Where is your power coming from

We was getting electric shocks before I changed connectors.the power is just coming off normal electric socket off of a rcd circuit very strange
