Vacuum occasionally gives a static shock when touched after use.

Safety first: These shocks are usually low‑energy static discharges, but if you notice any burning smell or visible arcing, stop using the vacuum.

• Increase humidity: Use a humidifier in very dry environments to reduce static build‑up.
• Footwear and surfaces: Wearing shoes with conductive soles and avoiding dragging the vacuum rapidly over synthetic carpets can reduce static.

If shocks are strong or accompanied by other electrical symptoms (sparks, noise, smell), have the vacuum inspected by a technician.
