As the chain heats up it will expand. You need to make sure that the chin is well lubricated and that the oilways are working correctly. Try running the saw and hold close to a piece of wood, but don't start sawing until you see the oil start to form on the wood - this means that the oil system is working correctly.

That is pretty normal for any chainsaw. Especially with a new chain, which will stretch a bit. It's easy enough to tighten it by loosening the nut that holds the bar, and pulling the bar so the chain tightens.
