Hi Dave:
If you hold the bar nose up when adjusting and tightening the bar, then I think your saw is like detail A here (may not be your saw):
http://weborder.husqvarna.com/order_static/doc/HIUS/HIUS2008/HIUS2008_506955901.pdf
Configure it like detail B and the problem is solved. I did a quick search for item 16 (<$25) and available. You also need item 14 (2 each, $1±), and a scrench ($10± at a local saw store after you get the bar nuts).
If the saw listed is not yours, you can find yours here:
HusqvarnaUSA.com
http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/download-manuals/
Enter the 3 digit model number (no XPs, Es, just the numbers)
Serial number decode – useful when downloading IPLs and Manuals
06 1500198
06 = year produced – 2006 (single digit before 2000; please contact Husqvarna for single digit clarification http://www.husqvarna.com/us/homeowner/support/customer-support/)
15 = week produced – March
00198 = 198th unit Husky produced that week
If you have more questions or need additional help please reply below and I will get back to you. Thank you for using FixYa and Good Luck. HTH

You need to make sure the blade is not damaged. You need
to release the chain tension screw, most cases; you turn in counter clock wise
to release the tension rod. Do it in the reverse when you reinstall chain to
tighten it back up to operating conditions.
