At that time, part of the guard mechanism came loose from the frame of the Sheeter and fell on the floor. At that same time, Employee #1 put out his hand to keep from being hit by the falling machine part. He stuck his hand directly against the newly exposed chain drive mechanism of the conveyor. His hand was caught between the chain and sprocket drive and the first joint of his left index finger was amputated.
