Pruner equipped with DSES Contactless in vineyard with carrying mitt - INFACO
Safety is essential to INFACO, which has been a pioneer in this field since the 1990s. Substantial R&D resources have been deployed, enabling us to offer a model with three different safety systems.
All INFACO F3020 pruning shears feature DSES Wireless (Wireless Supplementary Electronic Safety System) as standard. This device consists of a conductive trigger that provides the link between the user's body and the pruner's electronics. As soon as the tool's cutting head comes into contact with the opposite hand (bare or gloved), the blade reopens instantly: an accident can thus be avoided!
This DSES works on direct skin contact. However, as each person has his or her own level of conductivity, INFACO recommends wearing conductive gloves to guarantee a high level. They increase the signal, offer better protection and reduce accidental triggering on damp wood and/or wood too close to the ground.
To activate and deactivate the system, simply press the “Settings” button:
The wireless safety device operates, in anticipation of danger, with a receiver in the pruning shear and a glove in which a transmitter is slipped. A safety bubble forms around the pruning shear's cutting head: when the opposite hand approaches too dangerously, the blade opens instantly. A real invisible protection, this contactless system promises to re-educate the pruning gesture in complete safety.
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 oval-shaped protection zone has been designed to follow the curves of the hand and preserve working habits.
This optional system fits all F3020 pruning shears marketed since April 2022.

The wired DSES option requires an INFACO conductive glove to operate. The glove is connected to a special power cable that provides a physical link with the pruning shear. It provides protection for the user, while reducing the risk of accidental reopening on damp, sappy wood or wood close to the ground.
Operation is identical to Wireless: as soon as the cutting head comes into contact with the conductive glove, the pruning shear blade opens instantly.
