The press had six separate stations and was activated by hydraulic two-hand trip controls. One trip control was a chain hanging over each individual station. The other trip control was a cable running the length of the press. Employee #1 was leaning on the machine, waiting for his station to heat up, when his left hand became caught. His left ring finger was fractured and both his ring and the little fingers were split open.
