Yes it should be turned off and unplugged. Also Phyllis, I don't think that blowing the vacuum reversed will help much for cleaning the house, unless of course the dirt is being blown outside through an open door! ;0) Debbie _____

Or would reversing the vacuum hose be a bit too much force for the inside of a desktop pc? I have used the vacuum, very gently, but not reversed, to get the worst of the cat hair and dust out but there is still quite a bit that I cannot get out of my fans. Thanks, Debbie Debbie Its better to use a new paint brush to remove compacted dust and hair from fans etc, and only use a vac to pick up the bits. The thing is trying to avoid creating ESDs which may damage expensive computer components. Its seems a very immotive and personal subject so expect a very large thread. With all different shades of opinion as to what is safe practice. The problem is static electricity, those little battery operated vacs they sell for computers are pretty ineffective, I have a kit of minature tools that fit throigh an adaptor to a full sizes vac hose. As it is pretty powerful I point the tool from outside the case, toward its base. I look forward to all the replies you will get.
