High velocity air moving over plastic can create a massive static charge. If your electronic are on the receiving end of an ESD jolt from the vacuum, it can do real damage. I have first hand industrial experience in this matter.

I'd quite like to use it to clean dust out from electronic equipment.

Just do it. Air is not going to zap electronic gear.
