3.14Rotate the fiber so the fiber curl is directed downward in the fiber holder.
3.15Hold fiber at rear, and pull the fiber backward. Position the fiber so the tip is flush (±1 mm) with the end of the nozzle.
Note: The 900 µm coating edge can be seen through a hole in the shuttle. Viewing this is a good method to check that the cleave length is correct (24 mm). For 250 µm, the edge cannot be seen through the hole, since it has a 19 mm cleave length.
3.16Close and latch the buffer clamp.
