The teeth on Silky Saws are like super sharp little chisels that are dragged across the surface of a branch with each chisel taking a bite out of the wood it is cutting. Using Japanese ingenuity, saws cut on the pull stroke and to stop the saws binding they developed a process that is called among other things, taper or hollow grinding. What they did was get a big round grinding stone and ground their saw blades so the thickest part of the blade was at the teeth and it tapered into the middle of the blade and then thickened slightly to the top of the blade. This meant that the blade was thickest at the teeth, less thick at the top and thinnest in the middle. The grinding technique produced a saw that allowed a thinner saw to cut through a branch quicker, without binding.
When you cut green wood with a Silky Saw or pruning saws and Secateurs, you are going to get sap on the blade area. The more you cut, the more sap you are going to get a build-up of and it's most noticeable in the middle (from top to bottom) of the saw blade. Remember how the middle of the blade is the thinnest part of the blade. It is easier for the sap to stick there as it isn?t being rubbed against as much. So that night, you put the saw back in the scabbard and pick it up again the next day and do some more pruning and shaping of trees and bushes. Overnight the sap dries and hardens and is easier for the sap to stick to the blade again the next day... so the process continues. Soon you think your saws are getting blunt because it is much harder than when you first purchased to cut through a branch. With all the sap build-up, you are trying to pull a blade through a cut that is now thinner than the blade with its sap build-up.
The solution is 2 minutes of TLC for your saw blades at the end of the day with the Saw Cleaner solution. This anti-bacterial organic oil spray based on Tea Tree Oil is the solution for removing sap from Saw blades and sticky substances. We use it, we swear by it and we have used it to make sap covered Saws and Secateurs look and cut like new again.? ?View before and after images above.
Sap build up is often mistaken for blade dullness, but it is actually the main cause of reduced cutting performance in pruning saws and secateurs. Because the blade is thinnest in the middle, sap easily accumulates, hardens, and increases friction, making cutting more difficult while also increasing the risk of rust and corrosion.
Using the Saw Cleaner – Tea Tree Environmental Solution 100 mL Spray helps remove sap and resin, reduce bacteria and mould, and protect blades from rust. Regular cleaning with this natural tea tree–based formula supports tool hygiene, maintains sharp cutting performance, and extends the life of pruning equipment.
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.

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.

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.

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.
