Procedure
1. Remove the protective cover from the laser beam exit of the scan head.
2. Keep the protective cover and the screws for future use.
3. Remove the protective caps from fiber coupling at the scan head and from the fiber
tip of the laser fiber.
4. Keep the protective caps for future use.
5. Align the fiber tip with help of the red dots to the fiber coupling.
6. Insert the fiber tip as far as it will go into the fiber coupling.
7. Turn the bayonet ring in direction 1; see figure 4.14 on page 29.
