Narrative

An employee was changing the tooling in a trimmer. As he turned a wrench to loosen the bolt holding the trim blade, his elbow hit the cycle button, activating the machine while his hand was inside. His right pinky and ring fingers had to be fully amputated at the hospital, and he had stitches in his middle finger. The machine was not locked out or turned off at the time of the incident.
