You might have let a little bit of saw dust get in the oiler so you need to drain the oil and clean out the oiler bowl.

What is the chain brake an where

not on the older chainsaws
newer ones it s normally the black lever you hold
Check the Chain Brake
Make sure the chain brake is working properly by putting the chainsaw on a stable surface. Release the chain brake, squeeze the throttle and then activate the chain brake by pushing your left wrist against the kick back protection without releasing the handle. This should cause the chain to stop rotating immediately.

How to install the saw blade to the unit

depending on the make and model there should be a nut , sited close to the motor , close to the bottom cog. When you undo that the chain carrier should also be removeable. Remove the chain and refit the new one and fill the lubrication point. Reassemble keeping tension in the new chain.
There should be videos on youtube showing the procedure. It is fairly straightforward but there varying designs/layouts

I have a Stihl MS 290, runs great, but the chain keeps tightening it's self on it's own

That's an unusual problem, usually the opposite happens. After making sure the chain brake is off, loosen the two nuts that hold the bar. Be sure to hold the bar up when adjusting the tensioner screw and adjust until the chain is just snug, but not too tight. While still holding the bar up, tighten the two nuts firmly. Check to see that the chain can move freely by hand. Then start the saw and run the chain at speed with something in front of the nose to check for adequate lubrication. You should note a slight fine spray of oil on the object in front of the nose of the bar. Inadequate lubrication, a chain that is binding on the bar, or an overly tight chain can cause the bar to heat up and expand, further tightening the chain. A properly adjusted Stihl saw will use almost all of the chain oil in the reservoir for every tank of gas. Too much oil is better than too little. The oil feed may have to be adjusted for operating in temperature extremes. If operating in very hot conditions, be sure that the saw has not run out of chain oil. The oil feeds faster when hot.

Lost operating and maintenance instructions. Need to know how much oil to put into the self lubricating chain reservoir and where it feeds the chain to make sure there isn't a blockage anywhere.

You are free to charge to the top if you think right to use a chainsaw. It is essential that the oil is clean. If you accidentally charge too much (full hopper) it is good the rest of oil put back in the oil bottle or to extend on the chain. It is important that it is not oil-free and should be cleaned around the chain for good lubrication.

Chain is not spinning properly.

Make sure the chain is not too loose it should sag aboug 1 eight of an inch. If the chain is still slipping than you have to replace the centrifical clutch.
