During vacuum cleaning, especially in rooms with low air humidity, your Philips Vacuum Cleaner builds up static electricity. As a result, you can experience electric shocks when you touch the tube or other steel parts of the appliance. These shocks are not harmful to you and do not damage the appliance.
