(1)It is best to use only a small amount of adhesive on the tip of the ferrule. If too much is used, sometimes it cannot be removed within the standard 30 seconds of hand polishing used to remove the adhesive.

(2)The polishing film, polishing fluid, and polishing conditions used in each of the polishing steps are listed in Table 2-1. Refer to the details for each of the polishing steps in the corresponding sections.

1The polishing thrust (pressure) varies according to the number of ferrules mounted in the holding jig. Refer to section 3.3 for setting the thrust.

(3)Mount the ferrules in the holding jig evenly according to the explanation given in section 4.1. When the ferrules are mounted incorrectly, the ferrules can slip and the tips of the ferrules may not be polished correctly. When mounting less than 12 ferrules in the holding jig, make sure they are arranged in a balanced pattern, according to the explanation given in section 4.1. An unbalanced arrangement of ferrules in the holding jig may not be polished evenly.
