The dispenser includes a feeding element for controlling the dispensing of the web, wherein the feeding element includes at least a drive roller, a pressure roller and a cutting device. The web is arranged to be fed from a first roll and into the feeding element, and an actuating mechanism operatively connected to the drive roller, wherein the actuating mechanism is actuated by a user applying a force to the actuating mechanism to dispense a predetermined length of wiping material. The actuating mechanism and the drive roller are connected by a lever, wherein the lever is in driving contact with the drive roller and is releasably connected to the actuating mechanism, and that the actuating mechanism and the lever are arranged to disconnect if the actuating mechanism is subjected to a force exceeding a predetermined value.
