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.
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.
