Default Anti static on vaccuum cleaner

Simple question. A Bosch cleaner, works fine has the usual convoluted
plastic pipe and a metal telescopic pipeand a plastic brush on the end. Its
most convenient way to be held is by the plastic at the end of the flexible
tube, but on some surfaces, the touching of the metal pipe after a few
seconds not doing so produces an audible crack and a nasty shock.
I also have a Vax which uses the same arrangement, but does not have this
added feature.. So, I know its not dangerous, and is purely static, but
there hasto be a way to make the Bosh, which is lighter, work like the Vax
which is big and cumbersome, and I do not really want it for spills of
stuff like sawdust or whatever. And no I do not make a habit of taking up
sawdust with it.
I did wonder about an inward facing corona discharge pin, or perhaps a bare
wire that pokes out by the brush but do not want to do something which is
pointless.
