Dses Wireless Safety System - infaco F3020 User Manual

DSES WIRELESS safety system

The F3020 pruning shears are equipped with the "WIRELESS" safety system as standard. It
is compatible with all the blade kits.
This system, of which the operation is described in the following sections, can be disabled
by users at all times.
The user must be aware that the DSES WIRELESS system supplements all
mandatory and usual safety rules but does not replace them under any
circumstances.
As a result, the user must respect all the safety rules contained in this manual, as
well as, more generally, the usual safety rules relating to the use of any cutting
tool, in all circumstances,.
Safety and use
The shears are fitted with a conductive trigger. This trigger must be in contact with the
hand holding the shears in order to create an electric contact through the user's body. To
guarantee that the system works properly the pruning shears must be in contact with the
body.
The human body has specific and changing characteristics depending on each person. For
example, damaged hands may cause a delay in the detection by the safety system.
To make sure the system responds correctly for all users, we strongly recommend wearing
INFACO conductor gloves. They amplify the signal.
The use of non-INFACO brand conductor gloves is totally prohibited.
Wearing these conductor gloves requires systematic visual inspection as well as regular
conductivity level checks. This check is to be carried out during the "DSES check" phase
described in the "Checking correct DSES system operation" section (on page 24).
INFACO cannot be held liable for failures due to gloves in poor condition and/or non-
compliance with the procedures described in this manual.
To reduce health risks, INFACO recommends that people wearing a pacemaker should
consult a doctor and the pacemaker manufacturer before using this system.
