Benefits
Specs

- 7 ft cord
- Max temperature 1000˚ F
- 239 watts

How to Use
- If you prefer/need the larger cattle tip, make sure the unit is unplugged and has cooled down Warning—temperature can exceed 1000˚ F. To remove the tip, hold it with a tool or your hand and unscrew the bolt and washer located on the underside.
- The lever on the dehorner should remain at "D" for all dehorning. The "S" is for those that have the tip for soldering.
- Allow 10 - 12 minutes for the dehorner to heat up before using. Apply to the horn base for approximately 10 seconds. For more detailed instructions, reference Rhinehart's directions.
Precautions
- Tip is very very hot. DO NOT TOUCH.
- Works best on kid goats that are about 3 days old. Use when the horn nub is barely there.
- Make sure the animal is held so it cannot move its head during burning.
Troubleshooting
Make sure the lever is set on "D" for dehorning. Not "S" for soldering.

The quality of this machine is incredible. Heats up quickly and stays hot to get the job done. As always, Premier 1 came through with a great product and great service!

Dehorner came quickly and as described, already used on 2 goats, works great! Wish Premier sold a holding box.

Showed up not working. After about ten minutes it started working and then a few goats in the internals started shooting sparks. I’d test it before you go to disbud. My previous one didn’t seem to get as hot either (same model). Not sure these have any sort of quality control.

This disbudding iron is the best I have ever used. I haven’t had to deal with scurs since I started using it. It’s lightweight and it has the stand which makes it easy for one person to get the job done.

It worked perfectly for our Nigerian Dwarfs.
