Employee's fingertip is amputated in lumber finish planer

At 11:00 a.m. on December 11, 2019, Employee #1, a lumber inspector, was in the process of cleaning material from a hardwood surface planer machine. Employee #1, age 20, was in the process of clearing a piece of wood debris from the bottom table jointing surface of a Cantek model GT610HI 24 inch double surfacer wood planer machine. As employee #1 reached into the machine with his right gloved hand, the bottom cutterhead made contact with Employee #1's right pinky finger, resulting in a partial (fingertip) amputation injury. The employee was treated without hospitalization. Though the machine's energy source was isolated and controlled, the cutterhead was still in rotation when the incident occurred.
