Test the bobbin thread tension by holding the end of the bobbin thread and suspending the bobbin case as illustrated. Then jerk the bobbin case once by flicking your wrist.

If the thread comes out of the bobbin case continuously, and the bobbin case keeps falling, the bobbin thread tension is too loose.

Make a slight adjustment by turning the screw clockwise with the small screwdriver.

If the thread does not come out of the bobbin case at all, the bobbin thread tension is too tight.
