Abstract: At 2:50 p.m. on March 10, 2000, Employee #1, a temporary employee, was operating a Gothenberg Model Number 550002 power press, located in the northeast part of the production area. While wiping the glue from the press with a rag, Employee #1 inadvertently pressed the foot pedal. His right hand got caught in the point of operation, causing the amputation of his three right fingers. The power press was neither de-energized to stop the ram's movement, nor was the employer provided extension tool used to wipe clean the press bed as required when the positive energy was on.
