Usage

 * Changing paper:
 * Use a screwdriver to loosen the screw on the front corner of the sander
 * Lift the lever and remove old sandpaper
 * Cut a sheet of sandpaper to proper size and ensure the paper can fold around the sander
 * Fold the sandpaper over the front edges of the sander, lower the lever and re-tighten the screw
 * Sanding:
 * Start at a low grit, and work up
 * A good progression for most projects is 80, 120, 220
 * Low grit removes more material, but leaves a rougher finish
 * A last pass should be done in the direction of the grain
