On September 13, 2018, at approximately 11:00 p.m., an employee operating a CNS computer identified a blocked photo eye and used water to clean the photo eye. The employee then saw wood in the machine and was attempting to remove it when the employee contacted the spline remover, resulting in an amputation of the right hand.
