Firstly,due to the difficulty that the users faced when trying to cut branches that were a bit wider than 2 cm diameter, we have decided to enlarge the circular saw blade to a size of 5cm in order to increase the tool's efficiency.
Secondly, although the users are able to use the tool multiple times without the need to recharge the battery, battery level is proportional to the tasks that the user completes. Therefore to help them know about the remaining battery levels we will provided them with a power meter that will indicate the amount of power remaining for the tool. Considering the age group we are cuurrently working with, the power meter should be as simple as possible. It will work with three different colors instead of percentage of power in battery. The following colours with their meaning in battery power will appear:
- Green - battery full
The meter shows a full level with all five squares on the meter when battery is full.
- Orange- battery is half full
The meter shows a half full battery with three out of the five squares on the meter being orange.
- Red - Battery needs to be recharged.
The meter shows a battery that is almost empty and in need to recharge with one out of the five squares on the meter being red
Thirdly, colors help the elderly easier distinguish the buttons. The on/off button as well as the safety button for it should be of a color that is a lot different from the skeleton of the secateur. Instead of black the color of this two buttons should become white.
The strong points:
Increased cutting power thanks to a powerful motor and a strong circular blade.
A very light model on the market thanks to the revolutionary Li-Ion battery technology.
Reduced muscular effort in the arm and shoulder.
Incomparable strength and durability thanks to a precision-forged aluminium body guaranteed for life.
A tool that is very Easy to handle and manage with carefully designed safety features.
Technical Specifications:
1. Cutting head: responds immediately when pressing the on/off button.
3. Protective frame around the circular blade to keep foreign objects out of the mechanism of the pruning shears.
