3.3 THRUST (POLISHING PRESSURE) SETTING

The polishing pressure (thrust) is set according to the polishing step and the number of ferrules mounted in the holding jig. The polishing pressure is set by moving the weight on the weight arm.

	three set positions for the
	weight on the weight arm.
	When you move the weight
	along the weight arm, you can
	feel the weight click at the set
Weight arm	positions.		Do	not	set	the
	weight	inbetween			the	set
	positions.
	Point 3
Weight	Point 2
	Point 1

Step 2 The weight set position to be used depends on the polishing set up and number of ferrules mounted in the holding jig. Refer to Table 3-1.

NOTE

If you have less than six ferrules to polish, use dummy and/or unusable ferrules so there are at least six ferrules mounted in the holding fixture. This is so that the ferrules will get polished at an equal quality level. Refer to section 4.1.
