Narrative

An employee had removed a cover for the drive belt and the exit roller so the timing could be adjusted for the inserter. His left index finger was caught between the drive belt and the rotating exit roller, and his index fingertip and approximately two-thirds of the bone were amputated. The machine was not locked out at the time.
