Electric ground and electric shock

Hi
I have purchased a microwave oven in west Japan (60hz). It comes with a ground wire (yellow-green).
I read in the forum answers on how to attach it, thank you.
My question is , is there a possibility I could get an electric shock when I am fixing the ground cable? Is it a good idea to keep the mains OFF when I am fixing the ground cable?
I vaguely remember learning in school that mains have nothing to do with ground, but then I am really scarred of these electric stuff.
Regards
HNB

The rule of thumb when working with electricity, if you're unsure about working on it live, then just cut power to the thing you're working on. You can just turn the breaker back on once you're done. While I think you'd probably be ok, better not to risk it. Good luck.

no shock.
when you get it, it is broken heavily already. (leaking electricity)
