Improved Pruning efficiency with Electric Powered Secateurs

The Ultimate Pruning Companion for Horticulture

The world of pruning has changed since the innovation of 'the world's first electric pruning shear"... the ELECTROCOUP was pioneered in 1984 by INFACO in France. INFACO stands for 'IN'novation, 'FA'brication & 'CO'mmercialisation.

Since this time INFACO has released their 8th GENERATION ELECTROCOUP to the Australian market for commercial orchards and groves which forges the way for efficiency and safety like no other.

INFACO's F3015 is super fast and offers exceptional speed when pruning between cuts. The trigger is ready to take orders from the operator and when we trialed these amongst many other brands on the market this was one area where the speed had excelled in this new model. Efficiency is key to any commercial pruning operation.

The ability to vary the cutting capacity with the standard, medium and maxi head (up to 50mm cutting capacity) ensures this unit is flexible to be used across many horticultural operations. For Olive Trees we have found the best user experience is with the Medium cutting head and it offers to be not too large and is weighted quite well in the user's hand. The half aperture allows for quick pruning of small material as well, which makes the realisation in pruning speed to occur.


Today, INFACO has engineered a streamlined experience which morphs the 8th Generation, F3015, into the lightest, most compact, and powerful electric pruner ever made.

TheElectrocoup F3015's are a significant evolution and a new era in pruning capability. Beneath the covers of this cutting-edge design, major advancement in motor and circuitry functionality - powered by new-generation lithium battery technology. It is measurably faster and more powerful than any other tool currently on the market! 

Built for performance, the F3015's comes with unprecedented versatility, clean finish, and comfortable handling, giving the modern-day pruner the ultimate professional experience and speed to match.? Efficiency improvement is the real strength in the modern-day orchard!

Ultra Compact Lithium Battery


  • Lithium-Ion Cobalt battery weighs only 810 grams
  • Battery Autonomy: 8-10 hours with Electrocoup
  • Built-in electronic management system and cell protection (BMS)
  • Shock Proof casing


Smart Charger


The smart charger extends daily usability to ensure the battery lasts all day and charges fast.?

  • Recharges 90% of battery in 1hour.
  • Takes another 30 mins to balance charge to 100%.
  • Sleep Mode: Protects Battery during an extended storage period (also called winterisation mode).
  • The charger has two standard charge outputs (as on the F3010) specially designed for the other energy-consuming tools in the line that runs off the shear battery such as the POWERCOUP PW2 saw, chain saw, hedge-trimmer, de-suckering tool, olive harvester, etc.

Battery Jacket

The new F3015 battery can be carried 4 different ways:

  • on a jacket with straps,
  • on the belt (without the removable straps),
  • using a clip on the trouser belt,
  • directly in the pocket thanks to its small size.



Award-winning Wireless Safety System - DSES

DSES Pruning System work with your bodies conductivity.

With this new generation award-winning safety system, it is a real benefit for operators to no longer need to be hooked up with additional wires connected to the secateurs.

The system comprises of a conductive trigger (patented) that connects the user?s body to the electronic control system of the shear, thus detecting any contact between the cutting head and the operator?s skin. When this occurs, the system immediately initiates the re-opening of the blades thus avoiding any potential grievous incident.

This system can be retrofitted to any existing F3015 model or can be purchased with NEW units that come fitted from the factory.

Safety Glove DSES (option)

Extension Poles Electrocoup

The sliding trigger on the pole ensures the user is in complete control!

The F3015 Electrocoup can be used on a set of fixed or telescopic extension poles ranging between 1.2M and 3.5M. This enables the user to reach a height of up to 5M from the ground.?


There is now no need for cherry pickers or ladders to be involved in pruning to keep the operator's safety at the forefront which also enhances the safety features of the Electrocoup. Each part of the Electrocoup has been field-tested to ensure maximum usability.

More flexibility with the Interchangeable Cutting Head

The tool?s key asset is its versatility to adapt to different cutting capacities of up to 50mm in the Maxi Head.

Electrocoup is currently the?only electric shear in the world with 4 interchangeable heads with adjustable half-aperture and DSES Safety system. F3015 can be purchased in Light, Standard, Medium, or Maxi versions at a special price.
