If you leave it in a well ventilated space to allow it to dry out, you should be OK, if a problem arises a fuses will blow in the plug and you can leave it for a bit longer, after replacing the fuse, you will be perfectly safe as the fuse will blow if there is a problem, and that's your protection. You might consider getting a power breaker (not expensive) which will cut the power instantly if an electrical problem arises, they can be used in all situations where outdoor tools are used and just plug in to socket that you are using and Will disconnect immediately if an appliance develops a fault.

cleaning the cutters should be fine,
If you were at work you should be aware of the Electricity at work regulations 1989.
General
5 (1) The majority of the regulations are directed at hardware requirements. Installations are required to be of proper construction; conductors must be insulated or other precautions taken; there must be means of cutting off the power and means for electrical isolation. The hardware requirements are complemented by a group of regulations stating principles of safe working practice. Regulation 14, which covers live working, is of particular importance.
(2) The scope of the EAW Regulations is limited by the definition of danger and injury solely to risks arising from an electrical source and does not include, for example, control-system faults and consequent hazards such as aberrant machinery behaviour.
(3) The EAW Regulations revoke a number of specific regulations, but a number remain which either overlap or appear to overlap, for example
(i) the Electricity Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations 2002 (as amended): see the introduction to the Memorandum of guidance.
