4.3 ADJUSTING FIBER HOLDER
This section describes how to adjust the height of the fiber holder. This adjustment
is done when mounting the holding jig onto the polishing unit. Refer to sections 4.4
and 4.5.
Step 1 Hang the looped fibers (which
have been tied into two
bundles) on the spool at the
end of the fiber holder (at the
lowest position).
Step 2 Mount the holding jig onto the
polishing unit as described in
steps 4 and 5 of sections 4.4
and 4.5.
Step 3 Loosen the clamping knob for
the fiber holder and slide the
fiber holder up so that the
fibers will not interfere with the
polishing.
Step 4 Tighten the clamping knob to
clamp the fiber holder in place.
NOTE
Always hang the fibers on the
fiber holder so that they do not
affect the weight. In this case
polishing may not be done
correctly because the adaquate
polishing pressure is not applied
to the holding jig.
