if you pinch the chain and lift up , the bottom of the criv link should just about come out of the groove in the bar. but not quite. thats what cs30 told me. hope it helps.

to be honest mate i would get an oregon bar and chain for the saw. i prefere them personally. better value fo money and i can never seem to get stihl chains sharp again. so i have aways bought regon for the reason that i can get them rasor sharp really easily.
