## Narrative

An employee was repairing the chipper with the guard off and the machine locked out and tagged out. The guard was replaced and the machine was started.  He heard a noise and again powered down the machine and took the guard off. He was leaning up and into the chipper to feel for vibration and his fingers got caught in the blades before the wheel had come to a complete stop amputating the fat pad and the fourth left fingertip.
