Cordless vacuum produces static shocks when touched during use

Safety first: Static shocks are usually not dangerous but can be uncomfortable. If you suspect electrical leakage (burning smell, visible sparks), stop using the vacuum.

• Increase humidity: Use a humidifier or place bowls of water in the room to raise humidity.
• Change footwear: Wear shoes with leather soles instead of synthetic materials when vacuuming.
• Touch grounded object: Before and during use, periodically touch a grounded metal object (like a radiator) to discharge static.
• Check for real electrical faults: If shocks are strong, accompanied by noise or smell, or occur when touching metal parts, stop using the vacuum and have it inspected for insulation faults.
