4.9Open the covers and buffer clamp (if necessary) on the fiber holder (for stiff-coated fiber, the buffer clamp was already opened). Slide the fiber holder out of the guide track in the protrusion setting tool, leaving the connector and fiber behind.
4.10Remove the connector from the port on the protrusion setting tool. Use care to protect the ferrule and fiber tips from damage.
5.0Nano-finishing and Cleaning
5.1Complete the installation process using the 3M™ Nano-
finisher. Open the lid on the finisher by first depressing the latch. For proper performance, only one finishing disc may be installed at a time. Use a new disc for each connector. Discs are provided in the connector package. Remove the adhesive-backed finishing disc from the protective liner, and place it onto the backup pad. Center the disc on the pad using the through hole and pin as visual references. Press the disc against the backup pad while taking care to keep it clean. Keep pressing the disc down until there are no air pockets under it. It is okay for your fingers to touch the polishing surface while pressing the disc down.
