how do I slacken re place a chain on a chain saw. How do I cause the chain to stay connected to its rail?

I have to agree with pleasant, learn how to use it before you kill yourself!

Sounds like you need a new chain though for starters, look at www.almmanufacturing.com for you model

In simple terms- if you need to know the answer then you shouldn't be using the machine.

Chain Saws are Very Dangerous even if you have the user manual.

Your question is about the most scary I have seen on here...

It is not difficult - there must somehow, on all chainsaws, be a method of adjusting the chain tension.

There must somehow, on all chainsaws, be a method of removing the chain.

It will be very, very similar on all chainsaws - a cover over the drive end of the chain will need to be removed.

A child should be able to show you where the cover is.
There will be an obvious tension adjuster - I set mine to about 3mm play with a cold chain. The chain bar can be reversed - as in turned upside down - on most saws to even out wear. The oil holes should be clear of sawdust and the oil reservior have oil in it.

Take care...
