Follow these simple steps to operate an Electric Branding Iron. If you have any questions, please contact us.

  1. Allow at least 90 seconds for brander to reach correct branding temperature. 
  2. Apply brand with moderate pressure to animal and hold until skin turns dark copper color, approximately 10 seconds. 
  3. Application time will vary with wind and weather conditions, thickness of hair, and age and breed of animal. After branding several animals, you will learn proper application time. If brand is not clear upon first application, it may be reapplied. 
  4. If brand is not clear or burnt hair builds up on iron, iron may not be hot enough. Electrical source and extension cords (if used) should be checked for proper connection and size. 

WARNING 

L&H Branding Irons Electric Branders and Dehorners are equipped with heavy duty three wire grounded cords. An adequate ground is required for safe operation of this unit for both humans and animals. Use only a heavy duty three wire grounded extension cord connected to a three wire grounded electricity source. The iron simply will not work properly if the extension cord is improperly sized too small. For recommended gauge cord, see chart below. Never submerge iron in sand, dirt or other substance. This will cause it to overheat and shorten its life. Use only, where conditions are dry. Do not stand or allow animal to stand in water or mud. Check before each use for cracks or breaks in the sheathing of the iron’s heating element and electrical cord. If cracks or breaks are visible do not use iron. Return it to the factory for inspection and repair. n If it appears the iron has transmitted a shock, stop using it and return to factory for inspection and repair.
