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).
