SAFETY OPERATION
As an owner or operator of a brush chipper,
you know what a useful tool it is. With anti-
burning and anti-burying regulations spread-
ing across the country, it is absolutely neces-
sary that we have brush chippers to dispose
of and recycle brush and wood waste.
It is equally necessary that we operate these
machines in the safest manner possible.
We have done all we can do to manufacture
the safest chipper possible that will still do the
job it is intended for. But no matter how we
build it,
IT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF IT ISN’T USED
PROPERLY.
It is the responsibility of the owner to ensure
that operators are properly trained and that
they practice safe operating procedures on
the job. These chippers are designed to give
years of service. Over the course of the life of
the chipper, it may have several owners and
dozens of different operators. It is vital that
each new operator be trained in safety and
that even experienced operators are given
safety reviews from time to time.
SAFETY IS JUST TOO IMPORTANT TO BE
TAKEN LIGHTLY.
With proper information and commitment
to safety every day, your Morbark hand-fed
chipper will give you years of reliable, safe
service.
