BEFORE USING THIS KIT:
Your pruning shear is configured to use
the WIRELESS safety system by default.
The supplied hard-wired safety system
requires special pruning shear settings to
operate.
IT IS THEREFORE ESSENTIAL to contact an
approved INFACO dealer to set up this
option.
Using the pruning shear with this safety
system will disable the WIRELESS safety
system.

4
Warnings before use
It is mandatory for users to wear a conductor glove (INFACO brand) on the
hand not holding the pruning shear.
The conductor glove sends data to the electronics to open the pruning shear
blades if it comes into contact with the cutting head.
It is essential to only use INFACO brand
conductor gloves:
DSES glove on the hand not holding the pruning shear
ref. 355G29 (for right-handed users) / ref: 355G29G (for left-handed users)
Sizes: 7 to 12
• For all the following operations it is imperative to
disconnect the pruning shears.
• No not wear overgloves over the INFACO conductor glove

CONNECTIONS
1. Place the battery on the vest
2. Pass the cables inside the straps:
• pass the tab cable
• pass the pruning shear socket
cable
• pull out the entire cable lengths

7
3. Connect the battery socket cable
to the battery .
4. Turn the vest around and pass the
tab cable through the strap
loop.

8
CARRYING
Once the installation is complete:
• Put on the vest
• Close the front belt
• Adjust the straps for comfort

9
1. Put on
the arm-band
2. Put on the glove
3. Attach the tab to
the glove hook and
loop attachment

10
3. Wrap the elastic around the wrist passing over first, then under
4. Attach the hook and loop
CORRECT TAB LOCATION:
1. Put on the glove 2. Attach the tab

11
System operation check
Check that the DSES system is operational each time the device is started and after
a half-day.
To do that:
1. Power on the pruning shear by pressing the ON / OFF button:
ON/OFF Button
Pruning shear power supply
socket
Or put the pruning shears on standby:
2x

12
2. After one second, press the trigger and keep it pressed, the DSES check
mode is activated. The DSES LED flashes, the power LED turns steady red.
3. While keeping the trigger pressed, put the bottom of the hook in direct
contact with the conductor glove fingertips.

13
4. Run over the entire glove
surface in this way, while
keeping the trigger pushed
to see the glove’s correct
conductivity using the STATUS
LED.
To validate the DSES operation, the status LED must never turn red when
checking the different glove zones:
• palm
• five fingers
• inner side
• outside
In addition to the daily checks, it is essential to visually inspect the glove to
check its condition.
To get the best conductivity, it is also essential to hand-clean the conductor glove
every week in cold, clean water without detergent.
Check the cutting head cleanliness. Dirt can alter both the conductivity and
the correct operation of the safety system.
INFACO cannot be held liable for failures caused by gloves in poor
condition.
5. Release the trigger, the test is complete.

System shutdown
The safety system can be temporarily or permanently disabled using the
procedure below:
• Momentary and deliberate stop:
0.3 s The DSES is inactive for one cut and then
automatically reactivates:
You are not protected during the single
cut.
• Continuous and deliberate stop:
10 s The DSES is permanently disabled. To re-enable it,
a 10s long press on the settings button is required.
You are no longer
protected.

15
Additional functions
There are two additional (and optional) settings available to increase the DSES
system safety:
• Level 1: “momentary” or “permanent” safety system stop functions
accessible to users.
• Level 2: “Continuous and deliberate” function not accessible to users
(see page 14).
• Level 3: Maximum safety, the user cannot operate the “momentary” and
“continuous” stop functions. Moreover, if a safety system malfunction is
detected, the pruning shear cannot be used.
These three safety levels can be activated using your Infaco dealer’s
reading interface.
DSES fault indication
Hard-wired DSES + glove Hard-wired DSES without glove No hard-wired DSES

16
The DSES LED is steady red and the user has not
momentarily or permanently disabled the system: there is
a fault.
1. Check that the tab is properly fixed to the hook and loop on the
conductor glove. Check the DSES wire condition.
2. Restart your pruning shear and check the DSES operation using the
procedure (“Checking correct operation” section on page 11).
3. If the problem persists, take the pruning shear to your dealer so that they
can read it.
4. Pruning shear reading indication (only by your dealer using the reading
interface): Fault D-07.
5. If your pruning shear is operational and the DSES LED is steady red and
the D-07 fault is displayed when reading the data, this indicates a DSES
system failure.
If the DSES LED is steady red and the D-07 fault is present, the pruning
shear will be operational if it is not configured to level 3 safety, BUT
the user will no longer be protected by the system.
Reminder: use of the device is prohibited if there is safety system
malfunction.

17
Very important
For the DSES system to operate correctly, it is essential to wear the INFACO
CONDUCTOR GLOVE.
If the conductor glove is too worn or damaged, it must be replaced.
It is our duty to remind you of the instructions for use.
On each start-up:
• visually inspect the condition of your glove.
• check that the DSES system is in working order (see manual).
HAND-WASH THE GLOVE AT LEAST ONCE EVERY WEEK
IN COLD, CLEAN WATER WITHOUT DETERGENT.

18
USERS ARE HEREBY WARNED THAT THE SYSTEM IS
A SUPPLEMENT TO ALL MANDATORY AND CUSTOMARY SAFETY
RULES BUT IS NEVER A SUBSTITUTE FOR THEM.
For all handling operations other than pruning operations, power the
pruning shear off using the ON / OFF*button until the LEDS turn off
and then disconnect the pruning shear at the power supply socket*.
• It is imperative to disconnect the device at the power supply socket*to
carry out the following operations:
-when putting on or taking off the battery-holder vest.
-when sharpening and edging the blade.
-when fitting, removing or lubricating the blade.
-for any other work or servicing on the device.
-whenever the user is no longer carry out pruning work.
• When the device is running, always keep your hands at least 8 inches (20
cm) away from the cutting head.
• Handle the cutting edge of the blade very carefully when removing and
adjusting it.
• Do not work with the tool if you are tired or feeling unwell.
It is strictly prohibited to modify or repair the glove structure
(stitching, adding parts, etc.).
INFACO cannot be held liable for failures caused by alterations to the
gloves.
