Safety Precautions
●Carefully read these Safety Precautions before use. Observe the precautions indicated herein to
ensure safety.
●Safety precautions in this instructionmanual arecategorized intotwo types by the degree of danger
associated with each on the followings. Based on danger analyses performed by Vessel, all
precautions in this instruction manual are of the CAUTION level.
●If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by
the equipment may be impaired.
WARNING
Indicates that improper handling can lead to serious injury or even death.
CAUTION
Indicates that improper handling can lead to minor injury and property damage.
This symbol indicates a WARNING or CAUTION.
This symbol indicates a prohibited action.
This symbol indicates a mandatory required action
CAUTIONS
PROHIBITED
Do not use the G2-E in environments that require explosion-proofing. The
G2-E is not of explosion-proof construction, therefore explosion or fire may
occur.
PROHIBITED
Do not use the G2-E in flammable atmospheres. The corona discharge
can act as an ignition source and cause an explosion or fire.
PROHIBITED
Do not use the G2-E in environments subjected to sharp temperature
fluctuations or dewing. This kind of environment can lead to breakdown.
DO NOT WET
Do not use the G2-E in highly damp places or anywhere it may be wet by
water, oil, solvent or other liquid. Contact with moisture can result in
electric shock or breakdown.
PROHIBITED
Do not use the G2-E for anything other than removal of static electricity or
dust.
PROHIBITED
Do not use the G2-E with power supplies of ratings not specified in the
specifications. Inappropriate power supplies can result in fire and electric
shock.
PROHIBITED
Do not install, use or service the G2-E until having understood the
information in this instruction manual.
REMEMBER
Keep this instruction manual in a safe handy place for future reference.
CAUTION
Vessel assumes no responsibility whatsoever for consequences arising
from the use of this product.

■Product Features
Special Features
* Corona Discharge AC type
AC Corona discharge method has an advantage of stable ion balance, not much influenced by
contamination on the electrode needle.
High Frequency Voltage Transformer produces ions in its high performance with less production loss due
to the ion recombination.
* Changeable wiring direction upward or downward
The wiring direction of the hose and the AC cable can be changed upward or downward according to the
on-site layout. It can be upward by letting the hose and the cable into the dedicated groove on the grip.
This makes it easy to use the G2-E by hanging it from the top of a cell production table (e.g. when using
a tool balancer).
* Comfortable soft grip
Body is made of polycarbonate which is light and chip-proof. The molded surface is made of elastomer,
which is non-slip and easy-to-grip soft handle.
* LED Indication
You can confirm the operational status at one view, because an operation lamp is placed on the top side
of the product.
- Operation ON indication: Pulling the trigger operates the product, and the lamp lights up in blue.
- High voltage alarm: When the built-in transformer detects the abnormal high voltage and shuts down
the output, the lamp lights in red to show the abnormality.
* Compact and Light-Weight
Wiring with a high Voltage power supply cable is not necessary. High Frequency Voltage Transformer is built in
for safety. Small and light-weight for easy handling.
The power source is 24VDC to supply the power with the AC adaptor (accessory).
* Maintenance
Electrode needle can be easily replaced with a dedicated screwdriver (option).
* Environmentally Friendly
Compliant with RoHS standards.
* CE Compliance
The G2-E has been tested and approved under CE directive, EN61000-6-4, 6-2.and CE-compliant.
Applications
Blow away dust or dirt caused by the electrostatic charge; static electricity removal to avoid dust adhesion
on a product, and so on.

Installation
Installation place
Select a location that is suitable for work and near to an air source and 100-240V AC supply.
Hose
Use an air hose (ODφ6 mm x IDφ4 mm) of sufficient withstanding pressure performance.
Air Remove all impurities with a mist separator (0.3μm). Remove all moisture with an air dryer.
(Dew-point temperature: -15˚C or less)
Supply air at a temperature of 0~40˚C.
*Be sure to supply clean air only because oil-mixed air may cause the discharge stop.
Grounding
Connect to theAC power source with a ground.
CAUTIONS IN INSTALLATION
REMEMBER
Use only the included power supply adapter. Use of other adapters may results
in fire, electric shock and static electricity removal failure.
REMEMBER
Use an air hose of sufficient withstanding pressure performance.
Air hoses of insufficient withstanding pressure may rupture and leak air.
REMEMBER
Install the G2-E in the following environment.
Adverse environments cause product deterioration and breakdown.
Humidity: 35~65%RH (No dew condensation or freezing) Temperature: 5~45˚C
PROHIBITED
Do not use the G2-E in the following environments. Adverse environments
cause product deterioration and breakdown, as well as personal accidents.
Where explosion-proofing is required; where in flammable atmospheres, high
temperature and high humidity, or sharp temperature fluctuations; where
dewing occurs; where possibly wet by water, oil or solvent.
PROHIBITED
Do not pull excessively the hose and cable. Abusive handling can damage the
gun and internally disconnect the power cable and air hose.

Installation
Points to be checked before use
1. Before use, check the G2-E, tube and power adapter for trouble.
2. Make sure that there is no damage, loose screws, disconnected hosing, loose connectors,
or other defects.
3. Do not pull strongly the air hose or power cable when using.
4. Tighteningstrongly thetrigger lever with a clamp, etc.may causedamage. Use this product within
your grip strength.
Connector connection/Air hose connection
Connect the power cable from the body to the power supply connector of the provided AC adapter.
Also confirm pin positions, insert and lock.
Insert the air hose into the joint at the bottom of the body.
* Banding the hose and cord together with banding bands (locally purchased item) makes it easy
to work because the wires are bundled.
When wiring air hose and power cord from upside
It is possible to set the air hose and the power cable upward so as to hang the G2-E from above (e.g.
balancer).
Procedures: 1) Insert the air hose through the hook from the above and the power cable (already
connected to the casing) through the hook from below.
2) Let the hose and the cable into the dedicated groove on the casing completely as illustrated below.
3) Please note that there is a stopper on the upper side of the groove for the power cable. Place the
cable assuredly below this stopper by pulling it back with fingers.

Advice to use the G2-E for a long time
In the case of using the G2-E with the hose and the cable dropping down
,
please band them with the provided “self-fusion butyl rubber tape”, by
bowing the power cable as shown in the photograph below.
It can prevent the air hose and the power cable from scattering, and it can
also improve durability of the power cable.
Making an extra space by bowing the power cable reduces the load
on the
connector and the connecting area with the main unit.
Also it is recommended, for the same result, to band the hose and the
cable somewhere on the opposite side of the intermediate connector.
3 sheets of tape are enclosed. You may band another area of these cables
with the remaining 1 piece, taking into consideration the actual work
and/or wiring.
 The tape should be prepared by the user if additionally needed. The
provided sheet is made by cutting the following tape to 105 mm in
length each.
