RedMax HEZ260F — Product Specification
-
Type: Commercial straight‑shaft stick edger for sidewalks, driveways, and bed edges.
Position: Sits between smaller 23 cc units and heavier 29.5 cc HEZ3060S, emphasizing comfort and runtime over brute torque.
-
Displacement: 25.4 cm³ (1.55 cu in) Strato‑Charged® 2‑stroke engine.
Power: 1.27 hp output at 8,500 rpm maximum power speed.
Fuel: 22.32 fl oz tank (some dealer specs list ~21.6–22.3 fl oz; use 22.32 fl oz for your sheet).
Fuel consumption: 450 g/kWh for good fuel economy in route work.
Ignition: NGK BPMR8Y spark plug, 0.02–0.03 in gap (typical spec for this plug family).
Idle speed: 3,000 rpm.
-
Engine and gearing tuned for edging torque with smooth blade drive in typical residential soils, not maximum blade tip speed alone.
1.27 hp output is enough for clean edges while keeping vibration and weight manageable for all‑day use.
-
Handle: Curved overall design for more comfortable working posture; loop handle on the shaft for adjustable grip position.
Controls: Trigger throttle with lock, stop/kill switch on the handle, primer bulb, and choke lever for cold starts.
Starting: Standard recoil starter; recommended sequence is prime, choke on, pull to “burp/start,” then move choke to run and let it idle briefly before working.

Straight shaft configuration (F likely denotes straight shaft; contrasts with curved‑shaft variants in HEZ260 series where applicable).
Sits in mid‑tier between smaller HEZ230S (23 cc) and larger HEZ3060S (29.5 cc), balancing power (1.27 hp), light weight (14.6 lb), and good fuel economy for all‑day commercial edging on sidewalks, beds, and driveways.
Strato‑Charged® "Z" engine reduces emissions and fuel use by up to 20% vs. standard 2‑stroke, a key selling point for your eco‑conscious customers.
Uses the standard RedMax 9 in steel blade pattern and shares gearcase compatibility with other HEZ edgers for easy parts stocking.
