The employee was in the process of mounting a tire when his finger got caught between the roboarm and the duckhead, losing the tip of his finger that was in a glove at the time. Due to the extreme force of the hydraulic piece of equipment, the employee lost the tip of his left pointer finger to the first knuckle. The employee was treated without hospitalization.
