5.0 Nano-finishing and Cleaning
5.1 Complete 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.
