Cordless vacuum produces static shocks to the user during operation, especially on carpets

Safety first: Static shocks are usually not dangerous but can be uncomfortable. If you notice any burning smell or visible arcing, stop use and inspect for electrical faults.

• Increase humidity: Use a humidifier in very dry environments to reduce static buildup.
• Clean nozzle and body: Wipe the nozzle and main body with a slightly damp cloth (battery removed) to remove dust that can contribute to static.
• Wear different footwear: Non-synthetic soles or going barefoot can reduce static shocks on some carpets.
• Check for real electrical faults: If shocks are strong, frequent, or accompanied by noise or smell, have the vacuum inspected for wiring or motor insulation issues.
