The Infaco Electrocoup F3020 represents the ninth generation of professional electric pruning shears and serves as a technological evolution of the legendary F3015. Engineered and manufactured in France, it is designed for precision work in vineyards, orchards, and forestry.
Building upon its predecessor, the F3020 integrates advanced micro-controllers for smarter power management and increased operational speed. It is notably more efficient than previous generations, measuring 12% lighter, 15% more compact, and 20% more powerful. The tool is powered by the high-capacity L100B 36V Lithium-ion battery, which weighs only 698g and provides over 8 hours of autonomy, ensuring a full day of productivity.
Key to its design is a high-efficiency brushless motor that reduces heat and extends the tool's lifespan. It remains the only tool in the world featuring interchangeable cutting heads, allowing a single unit to adapt to various pruning requirements, from standard vine work to heavy-duty forestry tasks. Additionally, the F3020 prioritises user safety by including the award-winning Wireless DSES safety system as a standard feature, providing a layer of protection that prevents accidental injuries while pruning.
The F3020 is a technologically advanced secateur designed for efficiency, comfort, and professional performance. Below are the key usage features and operational improvements:
To ensure the longevity of your equipment and maintain peak performance, it is essential to follow a consistent maintenance routine. Infaco recommends the "2x2 Rule"—performing these two key tasks twice every working day.
You must sharpen the blade at least twice a day. Maintaining a sharp edge ensures efficient cutting, provides a cleaner wound for the plant, and significantly reduces strain on the motor and mechanical components.
Proper lubrication is critical to prevent friction and wear. Apply specialised Infaco grease via the grease bolt located at the head of the tool twice a day. Ensure the bolt chamber is filled until a small amount of grease is visible at the blade pivot.
Check the blade tightening each morning before starting work. The blade should be tight enough that there is no lateral (sideways) movement, but it must still be closeable by hand without excessive force.
When the pruning season has finished, the L100B Lithium-Ion battery requires specific care to protect the health of its cells during the off-season.
Sleep Mode: If the tool will be stored for more than one month, you must put the battery into "Sleep Mode" (also known as Winterisation or Long Life mode).
The Process:Storage: Once the battery has been stabilised, store it in a cool, dry place. There is no need to recharge it again until the next season begins.
The F3020 is designed for extreme versatility, featuring interchangeable cutting heads that can be swapped in under five minutes to adapt to different pruning and maintenance tasks. These kits allow a single tool to transition seamlessly between vineyard work, orcharding, livestock care, and heavy-duty forestry.

To switch your tool to the Medium Kit configuration, follow the process detailed in the official instructional guide.
For maximum diameter requirements, you can convert the F3020 to a Maxi Head by following the technical installation steps.
To ensure your Infaco F3020 is protected by official industry-leading support, you must register your product through the following steps:
The Wireless DSES is a world-award-winning safety technology that sets the F3020 apart as a leader in user protection. This system is designed to prevent accidental cutting injuries by detecting physical contact with the user’s opposite hand.
The F3020 vest is expertly crafted to provide unparalleled comfort, boasting an ergonomic design for effortless usage. Thanks to the innovative straight cable system, it becomes virtually inconspicuous, allowing you to work without impediments.
Four ways to carry the battery:
The F3020 belt is meticulously engineered to enhance airflow, which significantly reduces the effects of perspiration during intensive work. Additionally, the vest's minimal strap surface area further minimises perspiration on your back.
As the successor to the F3015 smart automatic charger, the all-new F3020 battery charger streamlines the connection process.
Calibrating and adjusting your F3020 to a half-opening setting is essential for maximising productivity and tool longevity. By reducing the blade's travel distance, you significantly increase cutting speed and reduce hand fatigue, ensuring a cleaner, more precise cut.
To calibrate the DSES Safety System, power on the tool while holding the trigger. Move the cutting head over the entire surface of your opposite hand or conductive glove until the display indicates the lowest conductivity zone, then release the trigger to complete the process.
The F3020 shear holder is a patented, redesigned holster engineered for safety, speed, and comfort during professional pruning operations.
Key Mechanisms:The F3020 extension poles allow for high-reach pruning (up to 3.50m) using Bluetooth® technology to connect the trigger to the sliding handle. This wireless communication eliminates external cables, allowing for seamless overhead work while maintaining the tool's signature speed and safety.
In conclusion, the Infaco Electrocoup F3020 stands as a pinnacle of pruning technology, blending power, precision, and unparalleled safety. By transitioning to this advanced model, users benefit from a tool that is not only lighter and faster but also smarter, thanks to its connected capabilities and customisable operating modes.
However, the true longevity of the F3020 depends on consistent care. By adhering to the "2x2 Rule"- sharpening and greasing twice daily - and utilising the Winter/Sleep Mode for off-season storage, professionals can ensure their investment remains in peak condition for years to come. Whether you are utilising the interchangeable heads for different wood diameters or relying on the DSES Wireless safety system for peace of mind, the F3020 is designed to make professional pruning more efficient, comfortable, and safe.
