----------------------- Excellent observation, and something to watch for. That's why there are specific stripping instructions for the toroid wires on page 14 where it calls for leaving 1/8" of enamel on L2-1 to avoid just such a short. But even if you strip it all the way to the toroid, moving the wire away from the solder pad for L2-4 will work fine.
