To install the abrasive paper, pull back on the lever clip to
open the paper clamp. Insert the paper end between the
base and the paper clamp. Center the paper and align
the edges parallel to the pad, then release the lever clip
to secure the paper. (Prebending paper makes
attachment easier.)

maintaining the proper paper tension.
