Infaco, the manufacturer of the Electrocoups, have always prioritised user safety over the years. A true pioneer in technology, the company has continually invested time and resources to ensure an innovative and safe experience for its users operating the Electrocoups. Today, the all-new Electrocoup F3020 comes fitted with the wireless DSES system and is a standard feature on all units.
The Wireless DSES system comprises a conductive metal trigger enabling a connection between the user's body and the pruner's patented electronic system. While operating, if and when the cutting head touches any part of the opposite hand, the pruning shear blade opens instantly, thereby preventing accidents.
The Wireless DSES system operates in direct contact with the skin. However, each individual has their own level of conductivity. In order to achieve a continuous level of high conductivity and better protection, INFACO recommends the use of its special conductive gloves.
The Wireless DSES system may sometimes trigger unintended opens on damp wood, sappy wood or when close to the ground. To prevent this from happening, users now have the option of turning OFF & ON the DSES feature when required, using the settings button.
Contrary to the wireless system, the wired DSES option requires the user to wear the conductive glove that is physically connected to the handpiece by a power supply cable. The wired DSES system provides the user the same protection while reducing unintentional opening of the blade because of damp or sappy wood.
Similar to its most recent predecessors, Electrocoups remain the only shears in the world with 3 interchangeable heads with adjustable blade opening and DSES safety systems. One of the tool's main assets is its versatility to use multiple cutting heads. With the options of the Standard Kit, Medium Kit or the Maxi Kit, users can easily swap the heads over in under 5 mins to meet the demands of the cutting application. Kits are optional and not part of the standard kit. Please ask for details.
Ideal for pruning grapevines and orchard pruning. This kit achieves the highest results for cutting rate and power.
Designed especially for fruit growers, forestry, and landscaping. This kit offers a higher cutting capacity while maintaining speed for relevant applications.
Perfect for cutting back vines, shaping fruit trees, and tree lopping. This kit with a single-piece blade-rack combo will give unrivaled cutting capacity.
Infaco's design engineers have completely revolutionized the pole system by creating an ergonomic and innovative solution. There are 2 different kinds of pole options available with this new model. First option is the pole can be connected to the battery through a cord and the second option is the battery can be plugged in at the bottom of the pole.

Regular blade sharpening reduces the cutting force exerted on the motor of the Electrocoup and also helps to reduce motor stress. Infaco recommends the use of the optional electric sharpener to help keep the blade profile sharp. Thanks to its 3-pin connector plug, the A48V3 electric sharpener is now compatible with the Electrocoup F3005, F3010, F3015, and F3020 batteries. It saves significant time on daily sharpening and maintains a good cutting profile on the blade.
See video at 1:02 for the A48V3 Electric Sharpener in action.
The new tungsten carbide burnisher helps maintain a good cutting edge on the blade. A sharp blade guarantees a good, clean cut and reduces the risk of spreading wood diseases. In addition to 2 recommended daily sharpening sessions with the stone, it is also advised to use the new Carbide Burnisher to maintain a sharp edge on the blade for a good, clean cut.
With the latest innovations in wireless connectivity, the Electrocoup F3020 pruning shears can be connected to the newly designed INFACO mobile app (available exclusively on Android and iOS compatible smartphones) through the Bluetooth Control Box.
The app provides a wide array of features that assist Electrocoup users in day-to-day operations:

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.

Infaco has released the DSES Wireless Safety Pruning System which is a new innovation released after a 3-year field trial.? The DSES System has now won a Gold award at SIVAL Innovation 2019 in France.
The DSES WIRELESS* system is a new safety device to protect users of electric shears from cuts.? The device instantly responds to any contact with the skin or a conductive glove.? Invented and patented by INFACO and its partners, this WIRELESS system protects any part of the user?s body coming into contact with the shears? cutting head: for MAXIMUM SAFETY and ERGONOMICS!
After 25 years at the forefront of the anti-cutting safety business, the INFACO company is now the first manufacturer worldwide to design and sell electric shears featuring an anti-cutting safety device; until now, users were required to wear a glove wired to the shears? control box.
[caption id="attachment_961" align="alignleft" width="630"]
Upon the secateur touching the skin of the user the safety system activates and makes the unit unusable for the time the unit is in contact with the skin.? See the red indicator light on the secateur.? Electrocoup F3015 Wireless DSES System Wins International Award for french company Infaco.[/caption]
With the next generation of the DSES WIRELESS* system, operators no longer need additional equipment: no glove, no wire! A conductive trigger (patented system) connects the user?s body to the electronic system in the shears. The latter detects any contact between the cutting head and the operator?s skin.? When this occurs, the system immediately initiates the re-opening of the shears? blades thus avoiding an accident.
If DSES WIRELESS* users wish to wear protective gloves in cold weather, the system requires non-matching INFACO conductive gloves be worn on the hand holding the shears (little wear) and the hand holding the wood to be cut.
To prevent users from getting hurt, INFACO is intent on making the DSES WIRELESS* safety system available to as many customers as possible.? It has undergone trial in Australia and is available now.
The goods news is that in about March 2020, INFACO will be releasing an upgrade "wireless kit" for the existing F3015 users.
