No lids will open with 250 µm.
Note: Bowing these 3 different fiber coating types at 3

4.5 Rotate the activation lever on the protrusion setting
tool 180° until the free end is positioned directly
above the connector.
Note: Use caution to move the lever slowly to avoid
damaging the fiber. Hold onto the lever, keeping it
from springing forward on its own.
4.6 CRITICAL STEP: Watch for the fiber bow to increase
slightly as the lever comes down. Do not proceed to
the next step until seeing this. It is easiest to see the
bow increase from a side view rather than a top view.
Note: The fiber bow increase is caused by the lever moving
the jig tip which pushes the fiber backward.
