The steps I am about to propose are not written in stone. Their order can be changed, as long as the principle is maintained: major matters are attended to first. Even if you use a computer, I recommend that you have a hard copy of your manuscript to consult for the simple reason that seeing what you wrote on paper will give you a fresh impression of your work. If you follow the steps I am about to suggest, reprint the appropriate section after making any major changes so that you are working with clean copy when you finally go through the manuscript from beginning to end.
