Chain gets lose right away and comes off
Most models have a adjustment screw either in the cover or in the saw near the chain, when you adjust make sure the 2 stud bolt nuts holding the bar are tight. Also keep in mind on a new saw chain it will stretch to start with and you will have to adjust often at first. Make sure both halves of the saw around the bar are clean and mounted correctly. There should be no gap and that once adjusted and tightened you double check it, and make sure that both nuts are equally tight. When you have the chain off next time check the adjustment screw, it should have a pin on the screw and a e clip that keeps it in place. Good luck
Check to be sure the pin that moves the bar forward to tension the chain is not broken off. That same pin may be in the wrong hole in the bar.
Make sure chain tension on the bar is correct and then the 2 nuts holding the bar is correct, Youtube has alot of videos on how to set chain tension as well as the Oregon website
