Bypass or Parrot-beak secateurs: as the name suggests the blade bypasses the counter blade to make a cut. (i.e. the action is similar to scissors). ?One blade is convex and the other concave. The main reason you would use the bypass to cut smaller branches and dense foliage as the blades are thinner and allow easier manoeuvrability e.g. with vines or roses.
Anvil secateurs: Have an upper blade which pushes down to an anvil counter blade (i.e. they close to a flat surface). The blade is bigger than the Bypass and the action tends to slice rather than squash the branch. Anvil secateurs will give a clean cut. Anvil is used for softer wooded trees and plants like Cherries, Pear and Olives.
Double-Blade secateurs: Have two identical blades if you compare to the anvil or bypass type? These secateurs make a cut by slicing the branch from two sides of the stem. Since you are cutting equally from both sides you tend to finish the cut in the middle of the stem where a lip is present. The reason for the lip at the end of the stem is to create angles each side and ensure that no water can settle on the cut to help the wound heal without the added risk of infection.
When you use secateurs on a regular basis you need to take into account the clunk/jarring factor to reduce the impact for RSI (Repetitive Strain Injury) purposes of each of these models:
The clunk or jar factor is what you feel at the end of a cut. A bypass secateurs gives the biggest clunk and you find these types of secateurs are not the choice of Arborists. Whereas Double-blade type secateurs have some jarring and the Anvil has no jarring at all and is usually the choice for Arborists.
What else to look for when choosing the right secateurs?
Everyone has a different sized-hands and secateurs are made in a facade of different sizes and shapes. Feel the secateurs in your hands open and close them like you are making a cut and feel if your hand can extend the reach of the handles when open. ?Rolling handles may be an option or not. The rolling handle model are usually more expensive and may not be better for the fit of your hand.

How long does it take to charge the battery?
The new F3020 Chargers are designed to charge the battery in 2 hours. Similar to its predecessor, the new charger enables the battery to be charged up to 90% in 1.5 hours and a full charge is achieved in 2 hours.
Can the battery remain on the vest while charging?
The new connector plug allows for the battery to be charged while on the vest, making it more practical and easier to use.
How does the Battery Sleep Mode work?
The "Sleep Function" on the charger helps the battery fall into an extended storage state, thus optimising its storage life. Recharging the battery is no longer required during the off-season. Just press the sleep button once after the pruning season, and it does its thing for the next few hours. Once the sleep process is complete, the battery can be stored in its case in a cool, dry place until the following season.
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.

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 app also allows users (without the Bluetooth Control Box)
