Jaguar XJ (X350). Manual — part 29

Resin - based Adhesives/Sealers e.g. Epoxide and
Formaldehyde Resin - based

Mixing should be carried out in well ventilated areas, as harmful or toxic volatile chemicals
may be released.

Skin contact with uncured resins and hardeners can result in irritation, dermatitis, and
absorption of toxic or harmful chemicals through the skin. Splashes can damage the eyes.

Provide adequate ventilation and avoid skin and eye contact.

Anaerobic, Cyanoacrylate (Super - glues) and other
Acrylic Adhesives

Many are irritant, sensitizing or harmful to the skin and/or respiratory tract. Some are eye
irritants.

Skin and eye contact should be avoided and the manufacturer's instructions followed.

Cyanoacrylate adhesives (super-glues) MUST NOT contact the skin or eyes. If skin or eye
tissue is bonded, cover with a clean moist pad and seek immediate medical attention. Do not
attempt to pull tissue apart. Use in well ventilated areas as vapors can cause irritation to the
nose and eyes.

For two - pack systems see Resin - based and Isocyanate Adhesives/Sealers.

Isocyanate (Polyurethane) Adhesives/Sealers

See also Resin - based Adhesives

Individuals suffering from asthma or respiratory allergies should not work with or near these
materials as sensitivity reactions can occur.

Over exposure is irritating to the eyes and respiratory system. Excessive concentrations may
produce effects on the nervous system including drowsiness. In extreme cases, loss of
consciousness may result. Long term exposure to vapor concentrations may result in adverse
health effects.

Prolonged contact with the skin may lead to skin irritation and, in some cases, dermatitis.

Splashes entering the eye will cause discomfort and possible damage.

Any spraying should preferably be carried out in exhaust ventilated booths removing vapors
and spray droplets from the breathing zone.

Wear appropriate gloves, eye and respiratory protection.

Standard Workshop Practices

Protecting the Vehicle

Always install covers to protect the fenders before commencing work in the engine
compartment. Always install the interior protection kit, wear clean overalls and wash hands or
wear gloves before working inside the vehicle. Avoid spilling hydraulic fluid, antifreeze or
battery acid on the paintwork. In the event of spillage, wash off with water immediately. Use
polythene sheets in the luggage compartment to protect carpets. Always use the recommended
service tool, or a satisfactory equivalent, where specified. Protect temporarily exposed screw
threads by replacing nuts or installing caps.

Vehicle in Workshop

When working on a vehicle in the workshop always make sure that:

•

The parking brake is applied or the wheels are securely chocked to prevent the vehicle
moving forwards or backwards

•

If the engine is to be run, there is adequate ventilation, or an extraction hose to remove
exhaust fumes is installed

•

There is adequate room to jack up the vehicle and remove the wheels, if necessary

•

Fender covers are always installed if any work is to be carried out in the engine
compartment

•

The battery is disconnected if working on the engine, underneath the vehicle, or if the
vehicle is jacked up

CAUTION: When electric arc welding on a vehicle, always disconnect the

generator wiring to prevent the possibility of a surge of current causing damage to the
internal components of the generator.

•

If using welding equipment on the vehicle, ensure a suitable fire extinguisher is
readily available.
