* Begin making small circular movements with the collar on the paper while applying even pressure downwards.

* After a while the paper will become smooth and its polishing properties will become reduced.  When this occurs start to slowly move to another portion of the paper.

* Once the complete surface area of the polishing paper has been used the top sheet may be removed to expose the under sheet.

** Note: Maintain at least two (and no more than four) sheets of paper on the table at a time.  Too few or too many sheets can result in possible cladding damage.

* If, while polishing in the collars, one or more of the fibers does not seem to be making contact with the paper, continue polishing the bundle until the other fibers are polished, take the collar off, and use the individual polishing puck on the non polished fibers.

** Put the side to be polished through the single square hole in the individual polishing puck.

** With the side to be polished protruding the littlest bit (about .5 mm), hand tighten down the screw that holds the fiber in place.   

** With the side to be polished protruding the slightest bit (about .5 mm), hand tighten down the screw that holds the fiber in place.   

** Adjust the side screws until the fiber is perpendicular to the base of the polishing puck.   

** Adjust the side screws until the fiber is perpendicular to the base of the polishing puck.   

** A very small protrusion and a perpendicular fiber help endure that rounded edges are kept to a minimum and the fiber has a square polished face.
