Description

French company Infaco is proud to release the latest edition of their Electrocoup electronic pruning unit. Significant improvements in ergonomic and technical design mean the unit is 12% lighter, 15% more compact and easier to handle than the previous generation. While looking similar, beneath the covers lie major advancements in technology which makes it 20% more powerful and 15% faster.

Futuristic battery technology has also lead to a smaller and lighter battery.

This F3020 model introduces two modes of operation. The standard mode suits experienced users with blades moving at full speed which is 15 percent faster than the previous F3015 model. Soft mode is similar  in speed to the previous model for those who prefer that blade speed or are learning to prune. The shears come with three interchangeable heads, small, medium and maxi to suit the width of the vine or wood you’re pruning. An optional extension pole allows the shears to be used up in the tree canopy with ease.

• There’s a new Bluetooth option to connect the shears to a smartphone app to record pruning data and allow pruning shear settings, Service / Help / Video tutorials and Pruning work progress management (using the smartphone geolocation)

The 3020 features a new battery, vest and cable designed to significantly improve the ergonomics of the unit. The cable now extends over the shoulder and along the arm thereby reducing any dangling cables. The separate battery and shear design ensure the hand piece has minimal weight, maximizing ergonomics and minimizing fatigue.  The new Battery only weighs 698gm (down from 950gms) and is comfortably worn on the ergonomic harness or now small enough to place in your pocket. One battery will ensure 10 hours of continuous operation, so a full day’s work can be achieved without interruption.

Operator safety is important and the Electrocoup comes with a wireless electronic safety system (DSES) as standard. This system utilises a conductive trigger so that if the cutting head touches the opposite hand (bare or wearing a glove), the pruning shear blade opens instantly. The unit now features a switch that can turn off the safety system in case the unit is working in wet or damp conditions.
