Possible Causes

Dry environment and synthetic carpets, Non-grounded charger outlet, Dust accumulation on plastic surfaces, Lack of anti-static path in accessories

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: If shocks are strong or accompanied by burning smell, stop using and inspect for electrical faults.

  • Step 1 – Humidity: Increase room humidity slightly (e.g., humidifier) to reduce static build-up.
  • Step 2 – Clean exterior: Wipe the vacuum body and handle with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust.
  • Step 3 – Footwear and surfaces: Avoid dragging the vacuum over highly synthetic carpets while wearing insulating footwear.

Mild static shocks are usually harmless. If you suspect real electrical leakage (continuous tingling, metal parts live), discontinue use and have the unit electrically tested.
