The F3020 electric pruning shear is the worthy heir to the F3015. After over 6 years of research, tests and fine-tuning, INFACO is proud to present its latest model of pruning shears. A genuine concentrate of technology, the F3020 builds on the highly respected F3015 technical base adding many improvements to allow our clients to continue using the best tool available on the market.
Even more effective than the F3015, the F3020 has higher cutting speeds and improved work comfort.
Lighter, more compact and easier to handle than the previous generations, the F3020 once again demonstrates the brand’s will to satisfy the greatest number.
The 4 main areas that have been improved are:
handling & comfort of use, weight, speed, power
+ powerful (+20%)
+ compact (-15%)
+ lighter (-12%)
+ faster (+15%)
Loaded with technological advances, the pruning shear can now be “connected” using an optional Bluetooth® box. This new system makes it possible to report highly relevant data in order to achieve ever more effective pruning work.
This connectivity option, combined with the new INFACO® application provides the possibility of making a multitude of adjustments directly from a smartphone (adjustable blade opening management, blade crossing, new Soft mode speed configuration, etc.) but also offers advanced reading and analysis of the data collected during the device’s use.

Additional electronic safety systems
INFACO has always considered safety to be essential. A true pioneer in the 1990s, it has never stopped investing in cut prevention solution research for its user clients. Significant Research and Development resources were used to provide you an accessible, increasingly safe and innovating solution.
Today, the ELECTROCOUP F3020 has taken a further step forward. All our pruning shears are fitted as standard with the DSES Wireless feature : Additional electronic safety systems (wireless).
This new wireless safety system is composed of a conductive trigger that makes the connection between the user’s body and the shears’ electronic system (INFACO patents).
As soon as the cutting head touches the opposite hand (bare or wearing a glove), the pruning shear blade opens instantly, thereby preventing accidents!
The Wireless DSES system operates in direct contact with the skin. However, everyone has their own conductivity level. So, to guarantee a high level of conductivity, the use of INFACO conductive gloves is nevertheless recommended. They increase the signal and provide better protection (see recommendations in the instructions for use).
Important: if you want to use gloves to protect from the cold, the system imposes wearing INFACO conductive gloves.
The use of INFACO conductor gloves is strongly recommended to :
For the DSES system to operate properly, wash the glove by hand at least once per week using clean, cold water without detergent.
Contrary to the Wireless system, the “hard wired” DSES option requires wearing an INFACO conductive glove. The glove is connected to a specific “hard wired DSES” power supply cable.
As soon as the cutting head comes into contact with the conductive glove, the pruning shears blade opens instantly, thereby preventing accidents!
The hard wired DSES system provides user protection while reducing eventual unintended openings on damp wood, sappy wood or very close to the ground.
For the DSES system to operate properly, wash the glove by hand at least once per week using clean, cold water without detergent.

The wireless safety device works in anticipation of danger, with a receiver in the pruning shears and a glove in which a transmitter is slipped. A safety bubble forms around the cutting head of the pruning shears: when the opposite hand gets too close, the blade opens instantly. This invisible safety system protects the user while preserving his pruning habits.
The option features three safety zones that can be set directly from the pruning shears or the INFACO mobile app (to be combined with an optional connected box) according to the size of the pruner's hand. The zone has a well thought-out oval shape to follow the curves of the hand and preserve working habits.
This optional system fits all F3020 pruning shears marketed since April 2022.

Progressive blade movement at full speed.
F3020 speed (+15%) v. F3015
This new mode appeared with the F3020 :
The new Lithium-Ion Cobalt L100B F3020 battery weighs only 698 grams compared to 810 grams on the previous version. Its voltage is now 36 volts (compared to 48 volts on the previous F3015 model). The F3020 pruning shears are still 36 volt and 48 volt compatible.
Its sleek design and reduced volume provide a day of pruning without any recharges. With its multi-purpose carrying system, the F3020 battery is easy to slip into a pocket or click to a belt, and will very quickly be forgotten during your pruning sessions.

Designed to provide unprecedented comfort, the F3020 vest is highly ergonomic and easy to use. Thanks to the new straight cable system that ingeniously crosses the vest to the shoulder (with arm band) it becomes almost invisible. Benefit further from the lightweight sensations of your F3020 pruning shear and work all day without hindrance.
The battery can be carried 4 different ways:
AIRFLOW Contact system
The belt has been designed to optimise air flow and therefore considerably reduce perspiration effects. The very small vest strap surface area
also reduces back perspiration.
New arm band :
New, easy to use, quick fastening arm band.
Quick charge : 2h
The worthy successor to the F3015 smart automatic charger, the brand new F3020 battery charger makes connecting easy.
The battery no longer needs to be taken out of the vest : for more practical use, now the battery is charged using a cable that directly connects the charger to the battery, making its use easier.
The F3020 lithium battery charger enables a 90% charge in one and a half hours . Full charge is achieved in 2h (cell balancing included).
Battery Sleep mode
The “Long Life” Sleep mode is used to place the
battery into extended storage state and optimise
its service life.
Recharging is no longer required during the off-season. Just press the overwintering button at the end of the cutting season, operate the charger for a few hours and store the tool in its case till next season.
It is now possible to plan the progress of pruning using new connected solutions. A Bluetooth® additional module is available for the professional electric pruners INFACO F3020 or F3015! Our promise? To optimize your organization while managing your productivity. This will not only increase your peace of mind but also simplify the management of your domain. But that's not all!

trigger system situated in the sliding handle making it very easy to use.
Sliding grip
Pruning shear controlled using Bluetooth® technology
Benefit from optimised balance thanks to the weight distribution but also increased battery safety in bad weather.
The tool versatility will be appreciated by users, whether for large cuts or overhead work.
Two versions available:
Built-in battery - Offset battery (static and telescopic)
Keep the blade profile sharp easily and in record time using the INFACO electric sharpener.
Sharp blades reduce the cutting force exerted on the motor and its mechanics, thereby protecting your tool.
Thanks to its 3-pad connection technology, the A48v3 electric sharpener is now compatible with the ELECTROCOUP F3005 – F3015, F3015 and F3020 batteries.
It saves significant time on daily sharpening. Optimise your blades for a higher yield from your pruning shears with the A48v3.
This sharpener runs on your battery to sharpen your pruning shears directly where you are working.
All specifications for our machines are given for informational purposes, they are never contractually binding and may be changed.
Get a cutting blade edge
The INFACO tungsten carbide edging tool maintains a good cutting edge on the blade. A sharp blade guarantees faultless cut quality and reduces the risks of spreading wood diseases.
As a supplement to the 2 recommended daily sharpening sessions, we advise that you use the new INFACO carbide burnisher. Using it every hour maintains the cutting side of your blade edge. Your cuts will be even neater!
