[Elecraft] K1 backlight; trimming pins

[Paul Roche]

I am getting ready to install my backlight on my unbuilt K1. Step #1 is
³flush-trim all component leads which are located BETWEEN the two rows of
LCD PC board pads...²

Does this mean to flush-trim the pins of the U1 HOLDER? These pins are only
1 mm above the board. Am I really supposed to try to cut these even closer
to the board? Must the Insulator card assembly be perfectly flat on the
board, or is being 1 mm above the board fine?

Thanks.
