This foot controller can be used on the
machine with product code 888-X53/X54/
X55/X56.

machine rating plate.
Checking the needle
The sewing needle must always be straight and sharp
for smooth sewing.
■Checking the needle correctly
Put the flat side of the needle on a flat surface.
You will have to change the presser foot depending on
what you want to sew and how.
1
Turn off the machine.
Raise the presser foot lever.
2
Raise the needle by turning the
handwheel toward you
(counterclockwise) so that the mark on
the wheel points up.
3
Remove the presser foot by pulling it
vertically downward.
4
Put a different presser foot on the needle
plate so that the bar on the presser foot is
in line with the slot on the shank.
●Before replacing the needle, place fabric
or paper under the presser foot to
prevent the needle from falling into the
hole in the needle plate.

●Make sure you insert the needle until it
touches the stopper, and securely tighten
the needle clamp screw with a
screwdriver, otherwise the needle may
break or the machine may be damaged.
●Always turn off the machine before you
change the presser foot. If you leave the
power on and step on the controller, the
machine will start and you may be
injured.
●Always use the correct presser foot for
the stitch pattern you have chosen. If
you use the wrong presser foot, the
needle may strike the presser foot and
bend or break, and may cause injury.
●Only use presser feet that have been
designed to be used with this machine.
Using any other presser foot may cause
accident or injury.
