Without seeing it or knowing anything else I would say you need to rinse more thoroughly and take extra drying strokes. Probably getting a buildup of chemical residue. You might use blowers on the job to get it dry quicker.

I think the real risk was to the fluorochemical production workers. Has anyone seen the documentary The Devil We Know? https://thedevilweknow.com/

Circuits with a GFI or GFCI have been known to cause "false readings" on those circuit indicators. Having the hot and common wires flip flopped in the wiring can also cause it not to read. For example, if you put a new plug on one of your power cords be sure the black wire goes to the gold post...

These two vacs are definitely different. The LMB2A is a more efficient, and higher performance vac with tapered fans providing higher lift & CFM. It operates on less amps due to modern motor design.

Two motors, one for the vacuum the other to drive the big single cylindrical brush. It was made to dig...
