How to Acquaint the Painter with HVLP
5
The most effective way to show the advantages of HVLP equipment is to
demonstrate it. Contractors will see how they can save labor hours, use less
paint and increase profits.
HVLP sprayers are not for every painter. Be certain they are involved with
the appropriate finishing application. Then match the correct unit size and tip
size to the type of materials they use.
After you have determined the answers to these questions, consider more
specific criteria:
•
Will the system be used in a stationary or portable application?
•
Does the painter need a one-quart cup system, a two-quart,
or a 2
1
/

-gallon material capacity for continuous use?
•
Will the painter need extra maneuverability with the gun?
•
Is maximum hose length a consideration?
•
How often will the painter use the sprayer?
The significance of answers to these and other questions are discussed in the
following portion of the handbook. However, the demonstration remains the
most critical component. We can guide you through a demonstration, but you
still must put paint in the cup, be prepared, and be confident. Under those
conditions, the equipment will sell itself.
Before operating a Sherwin-Williams CAPspray HVLP spray system,
please review the owner’s manual. The manual includes all of the
information needed to properly operate and maintain HVLP equipment.
Also keep in mind these basic safety considerations:
•
Always spray in a well-ventilated area. Always comply with appropriate local,
state and national codes governing ventilation, fire prevention, and operation.
•
Never spray near sparks, open flames or hot surfaces. Some coating materials
are highly flammable.
•
Before each use, check all material hoses (if you are utilizing them) for cuts,
leaks, abrasions, cover bulging or movement of couplings. If any of these
conditions exist, replace the hose immediately. Never repair a paint hose.
