*First ensure that each part of the bending unit is clean and don a pair of powder-free gloves.

*Be sure that the chimneys and the bottom halves of the collars are attach to their appropriate plates.

*Open the intermediate storage box and remove the fibers you will be bending. Place these fibers on a flat surface, always being cautious with the fuse site.

*Use the bundling tool to place the fibers in the correct orientation and position as defined by the Bundle Names Google Document.
*Use the bundling tool to place the fibers in the correct orientation and position as defined by the Bundle Names Google Document.
**'''Note:''' Because the bundling tool is 5 fibers wide and 6 fibers high, and the collars are 6 fibers wide and 5 fibers high, the bundling tool must be rotated when placed in the collars. Therefore when the bundling tool is used, the fibers should be put in columns first with the orientation opposite of what is stated in the Google Doc.
**'''Note:''' Because the bundling tool is 5 fibers wide and 6 fibers high, and the collars are 6 fibers wide and 5 fibers high, the bundling tool must be rotated when placing fibers in the collars. Therefore when the bundling tool is used, the fibers should be put in columns first with the orientation opposite of what is stated in the Google Doc, and their order rotated 90 degrees. For example if the final position and (orientation) of the fibers is:
OB(a) - OH(a) - ON(a) - OE(a) - OJ(a) - OO(a)<br>
O4(a) - O9(a) - O14(a)- OD(a) - OI(a) - O15(a)<br>
O3(a) - O8(a) - O13(a)- OC(a) - O10(a)- OM(a)<br>
O2(a) - O7(a) - O12(a)- O5(a) - OG(a) - OL(a)<br>
O1(a) - O6(a) - O11(a)- OA(a) - OF(a) - OK(a)<br>
Then they should be placed in the bundling tool as:
OO(b) - O15(b)- OM(b) - OL(b) - OK(b)<br>
OJ(b) - OI(b) - O10(b)- OG(b) - OF(b)<br>
OE(b) - OD(b) - OC(b) - O5(b) - OA(b)<br>
ON(b) - O14(b)- 013(b)- 012(b)- 011(b)<br>
OH(b) - O9(b) - O8(b) - O7(b) - O6(b)<br>
OB(b) - O4(b) - O3(b) - O2(b) - O1(b)<br>
*Put a collar around the bundle so that it is secure around the fibers but does not cause damage. The fibers should not be able to slide through, rotate, or change orientation.

**'''Note:''' While working with one end of the bundle, always be cautious of the other end. Any bends may cause damage to the fiber.
