Vacuum produces static shocks to the user during operation, especially in dry environments.

Safety first: Static shocks are usually not dangerous but can be uncomfortable. Do not modify electrical grounding without proper knowledge.

• 1. Increase humidity: Use the vacuum in a less dry environment if possible.
• 2. Use anti-static hose: If available, replace the standard hose with an anti-static Milwaukee-compatible hose.
• 3. Avoid synthetic clothing: Wear natural fiber clothing to reduce static buildup.
• 4. Periodically touch grounded metal: Discharge static by touching a grounded metal object away from the tool.
• 5. Inspect for damage: Ensure there are no exposed wires or damaged insulation that could indicate an electrical fault rather than static.
