The right tension on an overlocker will vary depending on the result that you want. The standard tension for just a plain 4-thread overlock stitch would generally have all the thread tensions set at the halfway mark between the high and lower number. From that point, you may need to tighten or loosen each thread tension to get all the threads to stitch evenly.
Probably the best advice would be consult your owner's manual. It should have instructions on adjusting the tensions and what to look for.
Another suggestion would be to search YouTube for a video that shows how to adjust overlocker tension.
I would suggest that you buy a new manual for this as your overlocker has 5 threads that need to be threaded up correctly to form a stitch and there are several different stitches that can be made with this model such as a rolled hem, chain stitch, three thread overlock, four thread overlock and safety stitch with three thread overlock, lots to learn.
Always well worth buying the manual and saving a lot of frustration trying to guess how things work and it adds value if you are going to sell the item.
