Chainsaws

Paul,

I am assuming the second part of the number is the SN# 01260010, so the date of Manufacture should be Week 26 of 2001.

However, there are several FAQ's on reading Serial number date codes, so just go to the search box for FAQ's and type "Serial Number". Husqvarna has changed how their date codes work over the years, ie.  in the 90's and before the first digit was the year, followed by the next two digits being the week of the year. In the year 2000, and therafter they went to the first two digits represent the year, and the next two digits the week of the year, and around 2010 and thereafter they started with the first four digits are the year and the next two digits the week of the year. Oh, and on some of the real old Husqvarna's you needed to know what color the chain saw was in order to apply the date code, they weren't always orange.

I hope this helps.
