How do I use the pinchwheels?Updated 3 months ago

The pinchwheels on your SINGER momento™ will help your mat stay in place. Here's a few tips for using them.  

1. Locate the pinch wheel lever on the back of the machine. 
2. To raise the pinch wheels and unlock them, push the lever down (A). 
3. Adjust the pinch wheels to span the width of your mat or the width of your material if cutting matless (B). 
4. To lower the pinch wheels and lock them in place, raise the lever to the lock position.

Pro Tip 1: The right-hand pinch wheel must always be in contact with right hand side of the material or the cutting mat. The far-left hand pinch wheel is locked and cannot be moved. This ensures stable mat placement during the cutting process. 

Pro Tip 2: For a pinch wheel to grip properly, it must be positioned over a grit shaft. There are two areas where the grit shaft is missing - pinch wheels cannot be placed in these areas
