Then do not tighten the chain so tight on the bar. This will cause the chain to stretch too far. When you tighten the chain, lift the end of the bar and tighten to the point the chain just touches the bar. Then tighten the side cover. Simple solution, buy a new chain.

Are you sure that the chain/bar oiler is working? If the chain was over heated it may stretch like that. Did you dull it and keep using it? I would check the oiler and if it is oiling I would take it back to Sears. Let me correct that, I would take it back to sears period.
