Narrative

Employee reached down to adjust a pallet on the palletizer without deenergizing the system. Once the employee moved the pallet a few inches the sensor started the conveyor because it thought there was not a pallet there. The tip of the employee's left index finger was severed by the conveyor chain once it energized.
