1Safety
Caution –Electrical voltage!
Only use the external power plug provided.
Danger from mains voltage. If the external power plug is visibly damaged:
- Do not use the damaged part.
- Have the damaged parts repaired by a qualified person or replace them.
Attention –Emissions!
Dangerous amounts of the reaction gas ozone (O3) may be produced during device
operation.
- Volumes of ozone in excess of 0.2 mg/m³ may be produced.
- Note that national health and safety measures must be observed when
operating the device.
- Only use the device in well vented areas or in conjunction with a suitable
extraction device
Attention –Damage to device!
Under no circumstances may the fan cover on the rear side of the device be closed.
This would interrupt the supply of cooling medium required in operation.
Never touch the piezo crystal on the front side of the device with sharp-edged objects.
This component may be damaged by improper handling.
Protect the plasma generator from being dropped or other hard impacts which may
damage the electronics or piezo crystal.

2Description of device
2.1 Correct use
The piezobrush® PZ2 is a handheld device for generating technical plasma. It is used to
pretreat a wide range of material surfaces before processes such as gluing or printing. It is
also possible to use the cleaning effect of the plasma.
Only use the device for the intended purposes. Failure to do so may restrict product
liability.
2.2 Description of device
The individual parts of the generator are shown and named in the diagram below. These

Operation
10
6Operation
•Ensure that the fan grille is not covered so that the device can draw in enough ambient
air.
•Press the On/Off button to start generating plasma.
While plasma is being generated, do not grab into the working area. This may disturb the
plasma discharge and cause skin irritations and might be slightly painful.
Note!
The plasma generator is not designed to treat metallic or highly conductive substrates.
Such substrates can affect the plasma discharge and reduce the activating power.
Do not use the plasma generator for sensitive electronic components. The plasma
discharge may damage such components under certain circumstances.
7Taking out of service
•Press the On/Off button again.
•Disconnect the power supply once work is complete, if applicable.
8Maintenance
8.1 Cleaning
Only clean the outside of the plasma generator.
•Ensure that the plasma generator is disconnected from the power supply.
•Only clean the plasma generator with a cloth dampened in water. Do not use solvents
to clean the plasma generator!
