Mechanic was working on a schwing concrete pump which had been sticking and not functioning properly.  The mechanic noticed a piece of concrete in the discharge tube and reached into the tube to pull out the concrete. At that moment the pump completed a cycle with the mechanic's hand in its path. The pump edge amputated four fingers and part of the mechanic's left thumb.
