HOW TO USE YOUR ROBERTS PATTERN MATCHING
AND SEAM REPAIR STRETCHER
The 10-128 features a heavy-duty aluminum frame and dual powerheads, ensuring
dependable and trouble free operation. The unique swivel design allows directional
stretching for correction of bow, skew, and pattern elongation as well as compression
of gapped seams for alignment and repair. Remove the swivel powerhead, add
the included tailblade and the unit becomes a mini-power stretcher for tackstrip
installations.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. The Roberts Pattern Matching Stretcher works by anchoring itself onto the carpet
with the front Nap grip head and pulling the back nap grip head forward, thus
moving the carpet pattern. You may have to repeat this action moving the Pattern
Stretcher forward after each action (crab walking).
2. Use the Nap Grip head dial to properly adjust pin penetration into only the carpet
backing and not into the carpet padding. This will reduce the risk of carpet damage
and ensure proper stretching.
3. Roberts Pattern Matching Stretcher will enable you to "crab walk" the carpet
pattern into proper alignment. As pattern distortion can vary in every piece of
carpet, it will be necessary to "crab walk" the pattern in multiple locations across
the breadth of the distortion to achieve proper pattern alignment.
