the tension figures on the dial are just indications
to get it right pull the thread out of the needle . now pull the thread and adjust the tension until you feel a resistance to that pull

if it bunches up underneath more tension if it is pulling the bobbin thread up to the top , less tension
correct tension is when the both threads meet between the materials
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.
