Tip: Hair, string and small objects can block the vacuum hose or tools. Check them occasionally for obstructions. NOTICE: While vacuuming, certain carpets and low humidity conditions may generate small static discharges. The discharges are entirely harmless and are not associated in any way with the main power supply.
