of the tool.
1. Introduction
Static electricity is an invisible energy which causes
problems in the body shops and paint spray booths,
where there are buildups of electrostatic charges in
the surfaces. Generally, it is caused when materials
come into contact or when they are cleaned before
the painting process. Consequently, the objects get
attracted or they repel to one another. This can cause
discharges or it can even create a spark which can lead
to another object.
Static is a major cause of paint film contamination and
nonconsistent laydown of metallic. A high number of
everyday tasks in a body shop can cause electrostatic
buildups, such as sanding, blowing, masking or
cleaning. The final preparation process is one of the
higher static electricity generators. All these processes
involve some kind of contact with the surface, whether
it is physical or air contact. Even the process of painting
with a spray gun can build up statics in the surface to
be treated.

Due to all the processes in the paint spray booth can
cause static electricity, and since this electricity
easily moves through all the surface to be treated, it
is necessary to ionize all the working area, even the
edges, before every application. Since static electricity
as an invisible energy, it can also appear when applying
treated air on the surface. What the treated air is
actually doing is coating the panel with an invisible layer
of positive and negative ions which rapidly neutralizes
static charges.
2. Description and content
2.1. Description
IONIZER PRO is an advanced cordless system which
generates positive and negative ions and the necessary
energy to neutralize static electricity present in all charged
surfaces to leave them free of dirt particles, ready to be
painted.
The system is composed of an ions generator and a valve
which leads the compressed air towards the target to be
neutralized, the air and ions combination cause the expulsion
of the particles preventing them to be adhered to any surface
due to a loss of charge. The electrodes are aligned with the
laser so that it will always mark the area where the static
neutralization is applied to.
It is also provided with a 4-level charging battery indicator
placed in the upper part to be easily visible to the user and
it is activated during charging or during the operation of
the gun.
User Manual
