In the next several steps, the fiber is trimmed and
riveted with the hot knife. BE SURE TO KEEP
FINGERS AWAY FROM THE CUTTING TOOL
FIXTURE. Allow the fixture to cool before 
removing it.
5. Place the flat side of the hot knife blade in the
lower area (melting area) of the fixture. Press down
on the blade to melt the remaining fiber flush with
the end of the plug. The fiber should form a small
rivet in the plug to aid retention. See Figure 3, 
Detail B.
6. Allow the fixture to cool, and then remove it.
7. Inspect the plug for proper termination. The end
of the fiber should form a rivet flush with the end of
the plug.
8. The plug is now ready to be mated with the
receptacle or ADM. Push the plug, nose first, into
the receptacle or ADM until it latches tightly.
4. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
DO NOT use defective or damaged product. DO NOT
re-use the plug by removing the fiber or cable.
