4.4For 250 µm only, the fiber will bow in the nozzle slot. No lids will open with 250 µm.
Note: Bowing these 3 different fiber coating types at 3 different lengths enables consistent fiber protrusion setting.
4.5Rotate the activation lever on the protrusion setting tool 180° until the free end is positioned directly above the connector.
Note: Use caution to move the lever slowly to avoid damaging the fiber. Hold onto the lever, keeping it from springing forward on its own.
4.6CRITICAL STEP: Watch for the fiber bow to increase slightly as the lever comes down. Do not proceed to the next step until seeing this. It is easiest to see the bow increase from a side view rather than a top view.
Note: The fiber bow increase is caused by the lever moving the jig tip which pushes the fiber backward.
