	The "CE" has something to do with compliance with EU standards for
electric shock resistance; you can run around in your mod a'go-go stretch
elastic pants, pick up your M6, and be relatively assured the static
discharge won't fry the metering circuit. There's some sort of insert to
the instruction manual that explains this. It specifically cautions,
though, against zapping any electrical contacts, like those for the winder,
and advises against cleaning the contacts with one of those micro-fibre
optics cloths.
