It is the flat spring that the thread goes under when you put the bobbin in the bobbin holder
however it very seldom needs adjusting as it takes just a very small movement of the screw to make a big tension adjustment
I suspect that you have bunching or birdnesting under the material and if that is the case it is the needle tension that has to be adjusted up

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved from Land Phones.

The dial is for the thread tension and depends on what you are sewing. Keep in the middle number to start with. Here is your owner manual.

I have a Singer Stylist 513 & I cannot get the feed dogs raised.

The model 513 Singer has two gears which operate the feeding mechanism. If one of these gears is broken, the machine will run except the feed dogs will not move. This is a very common problem with this model.
