At the side of the saw theres a cover, that you remove and inside is 2 screws you adjust the chain by turning the screws adjust the chain until theres just a little little slack NO NO NO NO NO, don't remove the cover. I don't know who answers these questions but i have owned about fifty different saws and I've never seen one where you remove the cover. (i own 14 saws now and am a logger/arborist). So leave the cover on, LOOSEN the nuts on the cover, you don't even have to take them off. Then ther should be a bar adjuster screw. Either a whole in the cover, on the otherside of the bar (in between the bar and the inside dawg) or sometimes even on the bar itself. It will be look like a slotted screw you just use a screwdriver).
Check for spark. If its got spark than its probably fuel related. If you left gas in it, then it could need a full cleaning (carb, fuel lines, filter, etc). Before you clean the heck out of it you should check the compression and make sure it isn't shot. The quick easy way to check compression of a chainsaw is to pick your saw up, hold the starter handle then let it hang from the handle. The saw should NOT lower to the ground.
If it does then you have lost compression. Always drain your saw of gas when you plan on storing it. Then run it till its completely dry and has no fuel in at all. Then put it in a dry place.
