Correct belt tension

Hi,
Im trying to sort out several issues with our laser.
One is poor quality engraving on the far side from mirror two which i should get by adjusting and testing.

My other gripe is that circles I cut have a small lip where the start/stop position is.
I think the X axis belt may be the culprit, however I have no information on how tight the belt should be.

Just finger-tight. Pull the adjuster tight with your finger, then lock it up.

The belt only needs to be tight enough to not jump the sprocket.
