The F3020 pruning shears are available in Standard, Medium, and Maxi versions with different cutting capacities, blade speeds, and weights. The L100B battery is a 36V Li-ION battery with a 3 Ah capacity. The charger operates at 110V/230V with an output of 42V – 2A.
Fully charge the battery using the INFACO Lithium charger before first use. The L100B battery is recommended for optimal performance. Various carrying methods are described, including using a vest, belt, or armband.
Ensure the battery is fully charged before use. Disconnect the pruning shears during non-pruning activities. Avoid exposure to bad weather and ensure the battery casing is intact. Recommended operating temperature is 25 to 95°F.
Keep hands away from the cutting head when powered on. The blade opening can be adjusted, and two operating modes are available: NORMAL and SOFT. Battery charge level is indicated by LEDs.
Charge the battery in a well-ventilated area, avoiding extreme temperatures. The charger has a wintering mode for long-term storage. Follow specific instructions for battery storage to maintain warranty.
In case of temperature faults or defective batteries, follow troubleshooting steps and contact an approved INFACO dealer if issues persist.
The F3020 shears feature adjustable blade opening and overlap settings, accessible through a "settings" mode. The shears offer 10 adjustable positions for both blade opening and overlap.
The shears are equipped with a DSES WIRELESS safety system, requiring INFACO conductor gloves for optimal conductivity and safety. Regular checks and calibration are recommended.
Regular maintenance includes blade sharpening and greasing. Sharpening should be done twice daily, and edging should be performed hourly. A grease pump is used for lubrication.
LED indicators signal operational status, safety system activity, and battery levels. Green indicates normal operation, while red signals a fault or inactive safety system.
Always disconnect the pruning shears from the power cord when not in use. Handle the blade carefully, avoid cutting thick wood, and ensure proper protective gear is worn.
The device comes with a 1-year warranty, extendable to 3 seasons with proper maintenance. The aluminium head has a lifetime warranty, and the gear motor has a 3-year warranty.
Follow specific precautions for transporting lithium batteries and ensure the equipment is disconnected and stored properly to prevent damage.
